If it’s not usable, why is there so much useful software written in Go?

I haven’t had a lot of trouble writing some interesting things in Go that I’ve found difficult to redo in C++ with similar simplicity.

Sometimes a language doesn’t need a ton of bells and whistles to be usable.

Wirth understood this and accomplished much.

Consider how we’ve been able to fix Voyager - simplicity can save.

It's not unusable, just as Pascal wasn't unusable.

It can be very tedious though, e.g. the way errors are handled.

Someone just needs to create a less tedious language that is a thin layer on top of Go. Go++?
