God, I want to like Go, but it's so firmly entrenched in the imperative world and that's the opposite direction I'm moving towards these days.

I mean I love the idea of Go's interfaces and single binary deployments and I guess the concurrency is ok too, but really the language seems too simplistic to me (I know that was a design goal).

I'll try and get my kicks elsewhere (C#, JavaScript, Rust, Haskell/F#/Ocaml).

I'm thinking that Rust will be the end of Go personally.

Honestly, if they can just get F# ported to .Net core I'll probably be done with every other language in my toolbox except for some occasional Python, Vala and C++ for writing desktop apps (unless someone makes a GTK#3).
