But is Go boring? I'm less interested in language syntax and semantics than I am about the runtime. I mean this generally and with all languages. Yes Go the language is simple and boring but the runtime, to me at least seems somewhat magical. By that I'm really talking about the concurrency. A lot of people sell Go by talking about Go routines but to me it's the one thing that makes me wary of adopting it. I'm very uncomfortable just blindly using concurrency features and not really knowing what's going on underneath.
