The difference here is that I can hand off the first code to any random freshly hired CS grad or cheapest outsourced coder and they can grok the code quickly. This is the advantage Go has to all other languages.

The Rust code needs maintenance coders of way higher caliber, not something you'd usually find. It's super fun for the top-tier developers who love to be expressive and concise with their code, but all code is pushed down to maintenance mode eventually when the hotshots move on to the new shiny project.

Go has removed pretty much every footgun by sticking to the basics. You have one way to do a loop, one way to do comparisons etc. There are very few ways to hide non-obvious functionality.

It _is_ possible to create complex programs, that are hard to follow but that's a larger design problem. Not something the language can force on developers.

That was one of the points from Java 1.0.

Thing is, care with what you wish for when easy to outsource is a goal, a welcomed feature mostly relevant to IT managers that don't care about the final quality of delivery, nor what consequences it makes to the home job market.

So yeah to all Wipros, Infosys, TCS, .....
