> I've learned many languages including C, Objective C, Java, Python, Ruby, JS, and some Haskell.

You've learned basically the same language over and over again: Algol-family imperative-OO-mishmash. Haskell is probably the most unique out of all of them, and I'm inclined to think you haven't gone too far with it. Perhaps you know SQL though and recognize how a relational (roughly, set-oriented) language can work.

My point is that I understand that Go offers you some compelling advantages. We're just saying that other languages offer some pretty amazing things too, and they are even better designed (as languages) than Go.

Check out this fantastic talk by Scott Wlaschin to get a sampling of truly different language paradigms and how they approach problems: https://youtu.be/0fpDlAEQio4

I agree that many languages have interesting features.

Your point however is not at all the argument the GP was making, which was that Go suits only Google, junior developers, and huge teams.
