What are some backend-related stuff that Go isn't good at?

I'd say keep abreast of developments with Go, make yourself aware of the ecosystem (eg look at https://github.com/avelino/awesome-go). There are some amazing tools and projects there eg. etcd

• go-ethereum

• opt

  1 0 3.0 Go

  An optional type for Go compatible with "encoding/json" and "database/sql" (by FallenTaters)

  

Rust's Option is absolutely fantastic and integrates very well with the rest of the language. If you deal with a lot of null values I recommend you make such a wrapper yourself to avoid pointers. I made one recently out of frustration: https://github.com/Fallentaters/opt
