Haha, you know, I've been using golang for a few years. It's concurrency and channels are amazing, but the documentation and many other things are actually sub-par.
Compared to Python, which I'm learning now, Python is much much nicer to work with. Syntax is cleaner, docs are better, ecosystem is better. So now, I'll only use golang if I need to build a super fast api server for thousands/sec.
Go performance is better yes, but if you don't need ultimate performance, save yourself the trouble.

And I was the first one who got excited years ago when google announced Go

Keep that in mind
