It's one of many reasons I love Go.

The amount of arbitrary glue, configuration and "cool things" I need to learn-and-forget for every new project is an order of magnitude less than any other language I've used in anger.

I don't know that I really exactly like working with Go but I do have to hand it to them, they did nail this aspect of it.

I don't see how that is language specific. I think it's entirely based on the project size.

Pick up docker or kubernetes and you'll have to learn plenty of stuff. Pick up ory/hydra to do auth in go, same thing.

Check out the age (from FiloSottile) or the rage (Rust port) codebase and they require similar level of understanding.
