That is not my experience from using Go for nearly 10 years at all. Go actually has significantly removed the complexity of writing asynchronous and concurrent programs and has pushed it to its own runtime. At this moment in time, as a language nerd, there are few languages that I know of that compete with Go in the balance it strikes between performance and complexity.

"goroutines" is probably the only thing that golang has going for it. But today with async/await in languages like Rust and C#, C++ getting a coroutine implementation, and Java getting fibers, golang is no longer special in anyway in this domain, while it still carries the baggage of a non-expressive verbose language, and performing worse than the aforementioned.

Go is special in that it is significantly simpler than all of these languages, while having a large overlapping domain of operation with each. I'm yet to see a single real-life money-making program written in any of the languages you cited that is as easily readable as a Go program.
