Can't agree more with you. I've seen people trying to write web applications and web services with Go going crazy reinventing the wheel (hand written validations, shell scripts for migrations, raw sql because "who needs ORMs, ThEYaReSloW", etc for thinks that with Python and a any of its battle tested frameworks you'd be done in a fraction of the time.
Go can be a great replacement for C, C++, maybe some Java stuff. Not for what you'd otherwise use Python, Ruby, PHP, etc.... right tool for the job. The "But channels are amazing and concurrency and speed and memory" argument doesn't matter as much for 90% of projects using it.
