The more I've used Golang over the past few years the more I've come to appreciate the simplicity of its design and its lack of syntactic sugar.

It's made me realise that much of the sugar I was writing in other languages didn't make me more productive or my code more readable, in many cases it was actually the opposite and the usage of that sugar was more about writing more "succinct" code that was in the long run harder to understand and maintain.
