You are just at the early phase of the project.
> Go is simple. It's easy to understand, read, and maintain
My opinion is that Go is too simple, to the point that it hinders understanding and readability. 4 nested loops with random mutability is much worse than a clear Stream api "pipeline". The 31st if err check will not be actually handling the underlying problem, while you can't forget about Exceptions -- even if they do bubble up to the main app, you will clearly get an actionable stacktrace.
> The tooling is built into the language
This has benefits, I will give you that. At the same time, I think all these new build tools are anemic and can't be used for anything more complex than interacting with the same language's standard dependencies. Gradle is not sexy, but is actually capable of doing any kind of build.
