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.

Also means having to understand a lot more syntax to understand what's going on

I would not lump map/reduce into this category since they are trivial to implement with a function and a loop
