Go is the language that's not made for you, it's made to make the life of the next guy who has to maintain your code easier! :-)

This is partially correct. It is made to solve internal Google's politics and the hubris of yet another graudate with a CS degree and an itch to justify hours he or she invested in practicing Leetcode (which, in turns, is a skill of writing mediocre stdlib code for languages that have inadequate stdlib)
It's harder to maintain compared to similar logic written in Java or C#.
That's a great way to phrase it, I'm going to steal that :D
