-Golang... Go is quite a funny language to me. I have a hard time taking it seriously, not because of the name, but because of the way it handles. Don't get me wrong, Go is a great tool to have under your belt, but it just feels very... "childish" ... to ME.

-Other than the weird chills I get whilst working with it (I just had to get that off my back, for the record), I think Go is a pretty nifty language. Go has the "I can do anything! just not very well..." [0] feeling to it, and it is very much true! I don't write software in Go because it "fast!" or "great on memory!", I write software in Go because it "fast! ...", "to write in!".
+To kick it off: Go is funny language. I have a hard time taking it seriously, and that's not because of the name, but because of the way it "feels". Don't get me wrong, Go is a **great** tool to have under your belt, but it just feels very ... "childish" ... to **me**.
 
-> [0] Having the aforementioned quality to it is not particularly a bad thing, I think it actually benefits Go!
+Other than the chills I get whilst working with it, I think Go is a pretty nifty language, and I'm sure you'll pick up on that further down in this blog post. If anything, the above statements were icebreakers, but also my genuine feelings. :=
 
-Now, allow me to list some pros and cons that I have to say about Golang with some things to note while reading:
+Go has the "I can do anything! just not very well ..." [0] feeling to it, and that is very much true! I don't write software in Go because it's "blazing fast!" or "great on memory!". I write software in Go because it's "fast!" to write in.

-* in no particular order
-* my opinions!
-* things that aren't explicitly advertised
+Now, here are some pros and cons that I have gathered up during my experience with the language:
+
+These are in no particular order, and solely **my** opinions.
 
 ## Pros
 
 Reasons for anyone to learn or to use Go!
 
-* Fast enough: Not Rust fast, but not Python slow
-* Lots of resources (books, documentation, libraries, tutorials, et cetera)
-* Quite easy to pick up (having had prior experience with C-like programming languages)
-* Can do just about anything!
+* Fast enough: Go isn't Rust fast, but it's not Node.js slow.
+* There are **lots** of resources. (books, documentation, libraries, tutorials, et cetera)
+* It's quite easy to pick up. (having had prior experience with C-like programming languages)
+* Go can do just about anything you pin at it.
+* It runs on Plan 9!
 
 ## Cons
 
 Nitpicks, not deal-breakers!
 
-* Garbage collected: Not necessarily a hard-con, but contributes to more memory overhead (not as much as Node.js though)
-* Can be too simple at times
-* Creepy dependency management and "package manager": `$ go get ...` seems pre-mature and underdeveloped
+* Garbage collected: This isn't necessarily a hard-con, but it contributes to more memory overhead that I'd prefer not to waste. (not as much as Node.js, though)
+* Go can feel *too* simple stupid at times, and not in a KISS way.
+* The dependency management and "package manager" is downright creepy: `$ go get ...` seems extremely pre-mature and underdeveloped, even many years into Go's life
 
-One thing you might see a lot when there is talk about Go is the claim that Go hasn't "found it's niche" or "it has no real purpose". To that I say; Go's niche is it's simplicity, it's ability to introduce someone into the compiled language space, and to develop software with speed.

 ## Who Would I Recommend Go To?
 
-People who...
+People who ...
 
-* don't have much time for boilerplate material
-* want to get into programming (or compiled languages)
+* don't have much time for boilerplate material,
+* people who want to get their foot into the lower-level side of programming, (or compiled languages)
 
-and dare I say it... anyone!
+and dare I say it ... anyone!
