One more thing: if you are truly stuck with Go you can still adopt functional patterns, style and data structures to good effect. Just because the opening paren is on the wrong side of the function name doesn't mean you can't find (or write?) an immutable data structure library for Go and promote functional programming ideas within your team.
Here is are some simple examples from C++ (from one of the authors of the D language): http://bartoszmilewski.com/2014/06/09/the-functional-revolution-in-c http://bartoszmilewski.com/2013/11/25/functional-data-structures-in-c-trees https://github.com/BartoszMilewski/Okasaki I'm pretty sure you could port these or some other implementation to Go fairly easily - YMMV.
