I think that's harsh. IME Go excels in a business setting where the focus is on correct, performant, maintainable, business logic in larger organizations, that's easy to integrate with a bunch of other systems. You can't squeeze every last bit of low-level performance out of it but you can get ... 9x% of the way there with concurrent code that is easy to reason about.

What matters is being 100x faster than python, not 5x slower than C++ or 2x slower than Java. Performant enough that IO (or network) rather than CPU is the bottleneck (in my limited experience).

Personally I just far prefer to work in a GCed langauge. Much simpler mental model.

That's the requirement for 100% if professional software development.
