I keep checking in on Go, trying to decide if I want to add it to my toolkit, but this argument usually bugs me.

Lisp is simple. Go is half-simple, but in its take on simplicity, it also takes away some constructs that make useful, high-leverage expressiveness impossible.

Some of its other benefits are appealing to me, but that's not one of them. It seems simple on its face only.
