Why can't I deny that it is readable and reviewable? I don't think it is, basically at all. It gets evangelized as if it is but I have yet to see a compelling argument that can convince me. I've had the displeasure of having to dive into some codebases and I specifically hate it for that reason.

Well, I can't speak for you, of course. I also haven't seen that code you reviewed. And I won't try to evangelize you. I'd say, in a nutshell, that Go is readable and reviewable because its grammar consists of the C-style basis that most every imperative language has, and not much more. It's the lack of features that makes it very 'WYSIWYG'.
