Limitations

Metaprogramming

Go is not appropriate for metaprogramming or creating domain specific languages. Evaluating code at runtime is not easy.

Go supports limited reflection.

Need to Compile on Different Platform

Unlike Java, we need to compile binary executable on target platforms.

Readability
