I haven't used Go much but I've gotten the impression that tooling is very good, it's easy to create a self-contained executable and startup time is low. All this while the language itself aims for simplicity and doesn't include a plethora of features rarely used or needed creating an almost python-like simplicity.

I can't be the only one. I just don't see a lack of features being a feature.
You can easily statically link most languages by passing switches to the linker.
Python like simplicity is a far stretch. Golang basically just C with co routines and some of the annoying syntax cleaned up.

Lack of features hasn't stopped C from being an extremely useful and prolific language.
Your last sentence, to me, reads as a pro rather than a con. C + coroutines - bad_syntax = Great language to me.
Mind you, I don't use Go in a professional setting, so take what I say with a grain of salt.
