Well, I think so. I only became a Gopher about 5 years ago and the pace of change has actually been faster than I expected, but it always seems to be in the direction of simplification. Examples of things that made life easier since I started using Go are modules and go:embed.

Of course, an exception is generics, which I haven’t yet had much to do with, and while it potentially scratches a personal itch of mine (I always felt that builtins like ‘append’ and ‘len’ were overly magical), I worry that it’s a complication.

But only time will tell.
