> Go has a well defined set of design goals (including simple and pragmatic) that it has achieved.

If your look how much changes are proposed as part of the Go2 work, I'm not sure the Go developers agree with you.

Yet the concrete proposals keep getting shot down or reworked. If anything, this makes me more sure that the Go developers care about their core design goals. They are listening to community feedback, but they don't allow a vocal minority to bury the original vision.
