       Ask HN: What do you like/dislike about Golang?
        
       What I like:  - Ecosystem. Very easy to install and use libraries.
       - Can compile programs to single executables easily.  - Easy to
       work with (Very productive) while also running fast.  What I
       disliked:  - The syntax but I'm starting to like it. (It seems that
       Go's syntax is an acquired taste for me)
