Thats fair! I just don't agree with the readable part and thinking. I personally get tired having to look at all the archaic boilerplate to find the actual logic that I want to reason about.
I won't disagree with that. At the same time, I loathe code where I cannot comprehend what's going on unless I'm an expert in the syntax and esoteric language features. I spend more time looking at other people's code than my own.
Go's advantage here is that everyone's code has a much higher similarity score than other languages, both in syntax and semantics
Go was written primarily for software engineering over implementing programming language research ideas. It's more than the language, it's also the tooling, automation, and simplicity around it.
Having a standard formatter certainly helps. But not having rich modern features built-in means more custom/non-standard code, not less, that you have to read.
I haven’t used go in a few years so not familiar with how it’s improved. But not having basic container functions like ‘map’ was absolutely bonkers.
