Javascript is plenty concise and expressive. Can you give an example where Go is less verbose compared to javascript?

Edit: C# is actually quite expressive too, I have a hard time believing Go is less verbose than C#.

Most people that think C# is verbose haven't used modern C#. It's an excellent language and if I had to go back to MS world I wouldn't bad sad at all.

That said right now I get little opportunity to use it because it doesn't fit into the current ecosystems I am working in. Shame because it really is a joy to program in, tooling is excellent async programming in C# -just works- which isn't the case in Rust, Java (or Kotlin) or anything comparable.

So while I don't get to use it often I hold C# in high regard.
