Yeah to be fair by "production" I meant I personally wouldn't use it for a long-term (5-10 year) project. I'm sure it's fine in an enterprise scenario, or a client who really wants you to use it and is willing to pay to make it worth it.
Honestly every language has warts, there are no perfect languages. I just personally don't like Go, mostly for the reasons stated above as well as in a recent article I can't find anymore but read a few weeks ago, mostly complaining about its well known ergonomics issues.
But yeah it's fine to use in prod for the same reason Java 6 and IE 6 were for a long time: nothing really matters but money when you're doing work work.
