I think it is easier to understand from a relative perspective. If you come from Haskell, you will probably not like Go at all.

But if you come from doing shell scripting or C, then Go will be much nicer. And then it also has some actual nice things and removes some obstacles that exist in other languages.

I think with more experience, people will start dislike Go more and more and switch to other languages. But for beginners it is easier to learn and you are less distracted by nuances like formatting or a difficult typesystem.
