I’ve already made this choice. Switched from C++ to Go, and now I never want to touch another language at all. Since I’m not writing kernels or embedded, Go is pretty fast for everything else. Not very popular in gamedev, but that’s just a lack of 3rd party libs, specifically native graphics support.
As for other languages, I can’t justify unnecessary complexity that is generally welcome by those language communities. Go is straight simple yet powerful, and I admire that.

I think I’m with you on this one. As another polyglot, I’m hesitant to pick anything, but the language I like working with most, today, is ‘go’.
I think I would risk it and hope that ‘go’ gains libraries (or I just discovery existing ones) for other things I want to do later.
