I know, I'm on the same boat. What I realized is I just need to avoid the companies using Go and I don't really need to be vocal about my dislike. It's not my loss if others find the language useful, but for me it either solves problems I'm not interested in solving, or the language and tooling just does not make it for me.

But, I can always just write Rust and be happy where I am. Or, to be honest, would not be very unhappy with F#, Haskell or Ocaml either.

and they also will avoid you! A monthly go-lang meetup in San Francisco impressed me as the only meetup I have ever been to where no one (in a crowded venue) seemed to want to talk to anyone outside their clique
