I am stunned by how many people actually like working with go.

As a language, I've always thought it was horrible. But as an option for tasks like network programming, devops, setting up a web service, it's one of the best.

So I understand it's popularity, and I reach for it frequently as well, but not happily like others seem to.

Depends on where you come from. From C, it's basically what you did with C with bells and whistles (multiple return types instead of OUT parameters for instance).

From Scala/Java/C#, if you really like working with these languages, I don't think you'd enjoy Go.

And while Goroutines sound nice at first, they come with many issues that languages that had similar concepts (like ADA tasks) did not have.
