It has been a while, but yes, there were a lot of them and I forget most. It made it kinda pointless to me that the language was "easy" when the code felt so brittle (Null pointers...really?).

One weird thing that always goofed me up was that slices are passed by value but maps by reference. Always made it confusing how to pass them for serialization/deserialization. The compiler didn't complain it just panicked. Seemed like something the type system should catch.
