Go is simplistic, not simple. Bug densities are largely constant across languages, so the less expressive language will enable more bugs.

>Bug densities are largely constant across languages

I would like a citation on that.

I remember there being a study on how several groups of students would solve a problem in C, Go, and Rust. I can't find the link unfortunately, but IIRC, the conclusion was that C was the "buggiest" and Rust the "safest" with Go being in the middle, but the speed of development was much higher for Go and C.
