Anyone learning Go?

I've gotten into web development lately (coming close to 6 months now), and I was wondering if anyone had experience with Go? The Go Programming Language
I've heard many people say it is going to be "big" or that it is great for "cpu intensive apps". Can anyone who knows anything about it confirm this? And if you do know how to program in Go, do you recommend learning it?
I've seen a thread on here where somebody talked about it, but I couldn't find it. I highly doubt anyone knows, but I thought it was worth a shot.

Happy Holidays!

well rip you. i am a developer but I'm bad but i know what go is, and i have a few friends who use go and they say its kinda annoying to learn but once you are super fluid with it, it gets easier.

(sorry for my spelling and grammar, as I am super tired)

I've been kinda learning Go and Rust, so far Rust is much harder but more fulfilling than Go. Go is decent for CPU intensive software but from a web developer perspective a fairly complex language like Go is going to be quite difficult to learn. Since the language is still relitively new documentation is pretty sparse which makes it harder to learn if you are not familiar with programming concepts as they relate to software. Web languages automatically manage most of the things that backend languages don't. Syntax wise Go is not very hard, just be aware that at times there will be things you will have to kind of "guess" on your own because of the relitively sparse documentation.

I'm interested in learning a little bit of Go, if for no other reason than I tend to be a bit of a Google nut xD. For some reason I've never been a huge fan of Rust, and have preferred to go with other languages (when the functional paradigm is required) like Elixir.
