Yea.. i used Go for 5 years. I just can't agree that the simplicity is true. Yes, the language itself is, but it offloads complexity into my program and thus my day to day is jumping around huge piles of logic which could be made for easier to reason about and understand with some actual help in managing the complexity.

Your complex programs aren't easier in Go, in my experience. The simplicity of the language doesn't help me much when my day is spent fighting to figure out how to make a problem which is inherently complex easy to maintain, reason about, and be without bugs.

I want a language that makes my day simpler. Where at the end of the day, my "net complexity" is less. Go leaves all the complexity to you and offers you very few tools to solve this. Bugs, spread out logic, and even runtime costs of the overuse of Interface{} (prior to Generics at least) left me with a lot of things to solve myself. My days in aggregate were more complex with Go.

Just my experiences.

Generics aren't going to improve this situation - at least not the current iteration of generics :(

It depends. Things like sorting a slice will be faster, for example. But yeah, the current iteration is a bummer.
