Quite, Go 1.1 wasn't released 6 months ago. People were reporting 20-40% performance improvements[1] in 1.1 so maybe it would be faster now.
It is also certainly going to do with the fact I learn Java first some 13 years ago. C# some 8 years ago (I didn't care for it before it had generics / nullables, CamL 10 years ago etc.
Plus I can't find the tutorial I was using to let people tell me how bad it is.
The thing is, go back to something which was been hyped 6 months ago, as super-everything. You use it, and it isn't. Then 3 months later you see (unfairly!) the headline zomfg it's 40% faster, I can't help but feel 'meh', fool me once....
That said I will look at it again, its just today the tooling is certainly not as rich as I'd like, the libraries aren't there yet and I don't have the time to help make it better.
I do like learning new languages, even if you go back to the older one, it often helps shape new thought processes, and whilst I really do try to think in the manner fitting for it, it is very possible I went in with the whole when you only use a hammer, everything looks like a nail approach.
