I would need to compare it with, for example, Java + Spring(Boot). I find Go to be simpler and more pleasant to use.

I agree with Go being simpler, but modern Java and Spring Boot is also fine. Backend programmers are spoiled with riches nowadays with all the completely workable options we have.

Batteries included but there’s not even a Set[T] in the standard library..
