Probably not. As someone who finds Go cringeworthy, I still find it extremely useful for certain types of programs. I write far simpler Microservices in Go, and I don't feel stupid. It's pretty rough and boring tool, and using it is a chore, but if the tool fits the job well enough, you can get good craftsmanship done even with a hammer.
