I'm new to Go within the past year or so. Every time I start thinking about some fancy sugar I got from another language, I've basically realized that I didn't need it. The ease of "build" and "run" is amazing to me, and when I find I need to do something fancy in my code, I generally find that I don't actually need that.
This blog post could have been written by me. This is exactly how I feel, on all accounts.
