I tried to like Go.
I tried to like Go. I was allured by the native compilation and quite low memory footprint while still being quite high level, but I just can't. I can't stand it forces you to use K&R style. I can't stand the verbose error handling. I can't stand the inconsistency in the built-in types and libraries. I hate that unused variables and imports are a compile error which is just stupid and kills all the fun in programming. To me Go feels like a reincarnation of Fortran 77 with all the restrictions it imposes. There are some good and cool things about Go, no doubt about it but it many places it's just too cumbersome which is unforgivable in this day and age.

There sure are.
