I'm a senior engineer and I'm also the person that wants to use the shiny new thing.

I'm just learning Go and I'm itching to find a project to use it on. It's super hard to justify it though when C# or Python would work just as well and those are languages that we already use.

The best time to do it is on a new project or component of an existing system, in my opinion. It doesn't make it a good idea, but it can be a nice way to introduce something new and possibly more productive.
