Things I love about Go, part 1: “The Boring Language”

Go's simplicity and lightweight syntax make it an easy language to learn and adopt, especially for newer programmers.

Unlike some languages, Go avoids complex features and minimizes bells and whistles. Developing in Go feels like a breath of fresh air, enabling you to focus on solving problems rather than wrestling with the language itself.

Go's simplicity and “boringness” make it the language of choice for mixed teams. Quoting Jonathan Hall, “I can take a group of juniors and seniors and put them together, and they can be productive together, without having to spend months ramping up the juniors to understand all the arcane syntax in a language.”

If you're looking for a modern language that gets out of your way, Go is your choice.
