   Pro:
   - extensive standard library
   - composition over inheritance
   - readable and understandable code
   - lean and clean language spec
   - formatting is part of the spec
   - channels and concurrency
   - fantastic ecosystem
   - integrated test & benchmark framework
   - it's rather opinionated
   - garbage collector

   Con:
   - it's rather opinionated
   - garbage collector
   - no generics (yet)
   - error handling can be repetitive to type
   - Slice gotchas
   - Race conditions still happen
   - nil dereferencing
