I had an opposite experience. Go code is just like other code in any other languages. It still can be abused to be unholy mess. I see a Go code that have channels all over the place that it's hard to follow the program flow, a function that can panic deep down the stack when feed with certain input.

Channels for me make Go harder to read than most languages. Once you encounter a channel when reading Go code, good luck understanding the flow from then on.
