GO is DEFINITELY not magical, which makes it
easy to read
easy to maintain

I don't see the relation. Rails migrations are just abstractions and a Rails developer should ever need to modify them because they work. It's not magic because we can see the code if we'd wanted to.

They're abstractions that we need to free ourselves from "mundane" work.

In GO world, the only magic is how fast it is. You even have to implement the unique function yourself

We all know many other languages ARE faster than Ruby but the thing is that Ruby never wanted to be faster but fun for programmers.

What is the joy in building your own unique function? Isn't it reinventing the wheel?

It's absolutely good that you could save money and time by moving to Go but there's no point in comparing Ruby to Go.
