I'm not proficient enough in Go to say how good or bad it is, but I have tried it in the past and it made and immediately not like it. Verbose syntax, no null safety or any error handling, no templates at that time, people literally copy/pasted the code of containers for different data types and did find/replace on it. The only feature that was kind of convenient is goroutines. For my money, Kotlin and even Java were more modern looking and would prefer them to go any day. Also not apples to apples comparison, but far more similar than rust.
