Go actually does a lot of the stuff that you mention here. Maybe not to your specific liking, but it definitely does. Your issues with the language are definitely valid. Mainly because all of programming is opinionated. Don't use Go if you don't like it. It probably doesn't do everything you need it to do. In cases where Go is useful, it is usually the superior option. Totally understand your concerns.

"Don't use Go if you don't like it." HAH! Good one. Some of us don't get to pick our toolchain front to back. (To my teammate's credit, I'd probably just choose Haskell front-to-back, which would be unreadable to anyone but mathematicians.)

Hahaha. Fair point, fair point. We don’t always have that luxury. πŸ˜
