How can I learn to like Golang? (and use it a lot)

I don't Golang because,

• I cannot set nil a variable (unless it is a pointer, but not sure if it is recommended to do so?)
• GoDoc is restricted to // and isn't Markdown friendly. gofmt doesn't recognize /** */.
  • Actually, VSCode formatter can give colors to JavaDoc/JSDoc styled /** */ as well.
• Centralized ~/go/pkg/packages/github.com/<NAME>/<PROJECT> structure, instead of my custom ~/projects/<PROJECT> structure
  • Actually, sometimes it is a monorepo, so ~/projects/<PROJECT>/packages/backend
• Golang maker don't like vendorizing, like what node_modules do.
  • What do you recommend? go mod or dep?

Rust's Cargo seems to be more happy with me, but it is a different language.
