moonshxne··on FP-Go: Functional programming library for Golang
Love expression-oriented pseudo-FP (F#, Scala, Rust), but I think this recent trend of trying to shoehorn Haskell-lite features into mainstream imperative languages is, to put it gently, extremely awkward.

That said, I actually do remember my first exposure to Golang being a blog post about using monads to avoid incessantly typing `if err != nil`. Very much like that original author, my personal values in software engineering just don't align with Go at all, and that should be OK!
