Learn why Go's minimal feature set and slow evolution over the past decade contribute to its effectiveness in meeting users' needs. Understand how Go's back-to-basics approach and focus on simplicity make it an ideal language for creating exciting software solutions, despite its seemingly unexciting nature.
