This is the most excellent summary of Go I have ever read. I agree with everything you've said, although as a fan of Scala and in particular its asynchronous programming ecosystem (cats for me, but I'll forgive those who prefer the walled garden of zio) I would also add that, whilst its async model with go routines is generally pretty easy to use, it can shit the bed on some highly-concurrent workloads and fail to schedule stuff in time that it really should've, and because it's such a mother-knows-best language there's fuck all you can do to give higher priority to the threads that you happen to know need more TLC

As more and more libraries are open source on GitHub or gitlab or sourceforge or whateverthefuck, asking questions on the libraries themselves (as an issue) is often the right thing to do, too... Less centralised than SO but also the only people who care about how to do things in a lib are people using the lib, so.....
