One of the philosophies behind Go is to keep the language extra simple.

See "less is exponentially more".

The same way some electric bikes are restricted to a given speed to keep their user safe. Some people call it "crippled", while some other call it "simple and safe to use".

[mlindner]

Keeping a language simple just punts complexity from the language to the implementation that uses that language. This is all the same problems that C has and Go chose to for some reason copy this poor philosophy. It's like Go designers decided most programmers are too dumb to understand complex languages.
