Yes, thank you! This is the point I was trying to get across. In a sense, Go makes all abstractions shallow. Perhaps worse, Go makes all abstractions several times leakier than they need to be. While this is apparently something the "all code must be explicit" crowd seems to love, to me it means I can't just focus on the high-level business problem I'm trying to solve. Instead I have to get bogged down in the nitty gritty details of everything.
