Minor nit re: Rails legacy. IMO a major reason it was so popular was because of Ruby. It's certainly not the right hammer for every nail but the syntax is one of the best to work with ever. Whenever I can find a project where writing a little Ruby makes sense I use it. Because I enjoy it :)

While it's useful to me and dominates what I code in atm, I don't necessarily like writing Go. Better than C/C++, sure, but I wouldn't go so far as to say I enjoy it.

Have you tried Crystal? I used to think I loved Ruby for its syntax, until I tried Crystal, then I found out that Ruby's dynamic typing and the sublime object model are just as important, if not more important, than the syntax.
