> Go’s type system/compiler doesn't lend you much in the way of helping ensure code correctness

Do you have any examples? Not a golang programmer myself.

[eternalban]

Go's weak type system encourages use of dynamic type ops (such as casting interface{}, etc) and obviously the compiler is out of the loop at compile time so it can't help.

I've written my fair share of Go over the years and I've cast to interface{} exactly zero times.

Explicitly, I believe you, but I'd bet you've often implicitly cast to interface{} (even some very legitimate cases like json.Marshal() are still technically casts to interface{}).
