It’s verbose. Errors everywhere.

There are a lot of foot guns. nil slice? Fine. nil map? Segfault. Loop variables with closures. The list goes on.

Generics seemingly split the community. May be some libraries won’t get used because they picked the wrong side.

It’s surprisingly weak at modeling data. Union types would really help out.

The community is so anti-design that it’s hard to play with them. Most want to make a big ball of mud and call it agile. When you point out simple patterns, they call you an Architect Astronaut. Checkout r/golang. Also look out for people telling you how dumb you are for wanting generics.

In many cases it’s a step backwards but it has the positives you posted. That is often a reason to grin and bear it. Eventually Stockholm Syndrome kicks in.
