How Netflix uses Java
Hah, yeah, we have a number of microservices implemented with golang. As 'clunky' as the language can feel sometimes the tooling is first class.

Absolutely! I love how fast it is and how easy it is to write stuff real fast. Not a lot of footguns, except the pointer-for-loop thing afaik. It does feel clunky and quite manual sometimes!

I wouldn't say it rises to the level of 'footgun' but golang's error handling feels kind of janky coming from other languages.
