I like Go, but my main annoyance is deciding when to use a pointer or not use a pointer as variable/receiver/argument. And if its an interface variable, it has a pointer to the concrete instance in the interface 'struct'. Some things are canonically passed as pointers like contexts.

It just feels sloppy and I'm worried I'm going to make a mistake.

I mostly use it as a signal for mutability to some extent.

And also when I want a value with stable identity I'd use a pointer.
