The people who made golang are not language designers, and/or did not research established options in other language as per their admittance.

Ken Thompson wrote B which is the direct predecessor of C. He was and is certainly a language designer and implementer.

Just like when C came around and everyone else was doing safe system programming in Algol dialects, PL/I, Fortran extensions, BLISS, Mesa.

I see a trend here.
