IMO Go can be learned in a day. Getting fluent and comfortable with it
takes longer, but that depends on how much code one writes.

The other question is, how long it takes in some cases to unlearn
habits and expectations from other languages. It seems some people
have bigger trouble with that than actually learning/mastering Go.

Depends on what you mean by completely. I was writing production Go code within 6 months after moving on from .NET. There are fundamental programming differences I found in the way you approach solutions. 

There is a lot to Go. I'm still learning after three years. I will never go back to .NET after moving to Go. Good luck.

I'd say the more C-like languages you know, the easier it is to become fluent in Go. If you've already gotten used to switching between the likes of C, C++, C#, Java and more, you're likely to have fewer wrong assumptions about Go. Getting over the error handling verbosity is the major first step, I think :)

I miss things from C# in Go and vice versa. But C# isn't as useful in the Linux environments I prefer, and Go works well for both CLI tools and server software/glue.
