So I’m completely new to the Go but I have very specific need and I couldn’t fit it anywhere else:

I want to orchestrate asynchronous, highly fallible tasks. I could use Rust but I feel I would drown in correctness of handling various edge cases over which I’d rather panic and wind down everything I can.

Elixir/Erlang would also be an option, but getting it installed in specific version isn’t simple (and ASDF was guilty for long time of installing Elixir built on different OTP than defined one) and also problem lies in interacting with IOs, which also bring consequences.

And so, yeah, Go is simple enough so that I feel confident that if aj get hit by a bus there won’t be enough magic so that it won’t be picked up by someone and it… works.

After being in pull rope competitions with bash, sh, Perl and Python I have fun working with it.
