May I ask why you turned to Go in the first place?
Your taunting remarks seem to indicate that you were forced moving to Go;
but on the other hand, earlier you indicated that you need to sell Go (or
rather, the lack of a feature in Go) to your team, so it seems you are the
driving force behind moving to Go.
In the latter case, if Go does not fulfill your expectations (and given you
still have free choice), then have you thought about choosing a language
with the features you need instead? I am sure no one here would seriously
recommend Go as a "one-size-fits-all" language. Go does not have generics
nor exceptions, so if you want these features badly, then Go isn't for you.
