More and more I think this idea has merit. When I was still deep in the go kool-aid it was always shocking to me how difficult it was for some folks to use the language. "It's so simple!", I would scream internally, but it's only simple if you can check a lot of your previous experience at the door. Whether you're coming from a language with a more powerful type system (e.g. any other language with a static type system), or something completely dynamic, learning go will include a lot of friction. Despite it being a simple language on paper. I think that's part of the reason that python devs seem to have such success with it, because python and go tend to be focused on getting shit done over elegance.
