> Go is missing a few needed features that are preventing more wide spread adoption

For me it's that Go is purely an imperative language and is not ashamed of it. That's fine, it's a good imperative language, but I don't like them, so I won't use it. I don't care how great goroutines are (or are not, I really don't know), I'm not using a non-functional language again in my career.

I don't (yet), it's very appealing to me though. The main thing blocking me is that it seems well suited for long-living servers but I also write a lot of things like cli programs and I'm not sure if it's suited for that.
