One of the slowest, most ineficient code bases I've ever worked on was in Go.

The mentality was "the language is fast, so as long as it compiles we're good"... Yeah that worked out about as well as you'd expect.

But that has nothing to do with the language.

Absolutely, and it's a good language when used properly. This was more of a problem with the hype surrounding it.
