It's the whole importing packages is just a checkout from master that makes me concerned about package stability. Semver exists for a reason. I realise this is nearly fixed but it's very slow in coming.
To be honest I feel you really will struggle in Golang to make software that is as reliable as Erlang/Elixir simply because the language is immutable and allows for concurrency by using many serial processes (Actor model) and has supervision of processes (let it crash) and also worth noting once you have used compile time macros the way Elixir does it you never want to go back to repeating yourself the way Golang forces you to. In fact I should write up my proposal for macros being added to Golang as an alternative to Generics...
If you are building something like Docker I'd argue Golang is maybe a more suitable choice but for Web software and stable concurrency Elixir is miles ahead.
