> Yes, there are features you can defer implementing until later, but their absence infects everything until you do. I still see cases where people have to drop down into ADO.Net code for C#, and the fact that you still see DBNull.Value instead of just a simple null value, much less a proper Option type is infuriating.

This DBNull.Value may be a problem for C#, but idiomatic Go has largely been untouched by the introduction of generics.
