It's so painful to get started that I'm not at all convinced the okay-ish language experience is worth it. I feel like Go was on the verge of something brilliant but managed to miss it by a couple of significant areas.

Painful to get started in which way?

Is this about being used to dynamic programming and not groking types and "pointers" in Go?

About the tooling?

About the lack of certain features like generics?
