This has been my experience as well. I think a lot of people came to Go looking to solve some limitations from Ruby, Python, JS. While it does that, you get a lot of trade offs that make it a great solution where you had a problem but not a migration path for everything.

From what I've found so far, Elixir gives a migration path for just about everything except heavy number crunching. Several people who came to Go from dynamic languages have seemed to echo this sentiment.
