Every time I work in a different language I'm always wanting to go back to Go even if it's not the perfect language.

I just love the fact that it literally just works. You install Go, you download code, and write code that's it.

No figuring out what version, runtimes, configurations, build tools, package managers to use. Just install and Go.

I think maybe Rust is the only other programming language that provides the same experience.

Maybe these are just lies I'm telling myself, but every time I use Python, Typescript, or Java I dread programming because I just want to write code and I'm often debugging things or figuring out related to configurations, package managers, build tools and versioning.

This is the power of Go, its integrated toolchain. It makes interop more difficult like the article says, but in my personal and limited experience that's not a frequent use case.
