With all the crazy warts that JS has, it is at least a lisp-like very dynamic language if you squint (a lot) at it. Its greatest fault is probably leaving out integers (I can’t even fathom why they decided on that, floats can’t represent properly ints).

Go is just simply badly designed, relying on hard-coded functionality a lot.

Which is better, hard-coded functionality or magic? I don't believe it's badly designed, since every design decision is deliberate; bad design would be accidental.

This is a false dichotomy. golang is weak that things that should have been in the standard library end up being hardcoded (like maps).
