Happens over and over again. An overly simple abstraction makes building toys easy but makes building real stuff much harder than an abstraction which accurately reflects the complexity of the underlying domain. Complexity cannot be destroyed, it can only be managed. Go tries to hide the complexity of file systems, networks, dependency management under a rug.. predictably it blows up.
