Go is just a dumb subset hyped up as simple, but it is useless and slowly it will have to introduce all the remaining pieces in some ugly way as they didn’t plan with them ahead of time - see generics.


That is exactly what I used to think when I started with it. But I changed my opinion after 6 months with Go and eco-system. It's not ugly, it's different and much more concise.


It is more verbose than java by all objective counts.


I think there may be a “Penny wise but pound foolish” thing going on in your analysis.
