Until you spawn a goroutine from a loop and suddenly you have to think about scope rules, nonlocal references, etc...

(It doesn't bother me, just noting the same complexities do come up pretty often).

BTW this is actually being addressed, specifically the for loop now essentially captures by value instead of by reference. I believe no real working programs were affected by the change, except for maybe fixing bugs in them.
