After coding in C/C++ for 5+ years, I loved golang (I was a go maxi for ~3 years).
But if you are trying to build software that solves problems not requiring statically typed and compiled code, you can produce solutions faster in more expressive languages eg js.
Coming from a golang background is one reason why I'm so excited about the Deno runtime ... It lets me use the most popular expressive programming language (js) with a golang-like package management system and can produce standalone binaries like golang. It's not ready for primetime yet, but it'll get there.
tbh if I could have my way, I'd prefer to program in a Lisp dialect ... it doesn't get more expressive than ad hoc DSLs.
