The more time you spend in software engineering the more you realize that this is actually brilliant and helpful, not bad. And IME, the more expressivity I have fluently at my disposal, the more complexity I tend to create. I’m not saying I don’t enjoy more complex languages, but reducing cognitive load and easing collaboration with more junior engineers are easily the best features of Go, hands down (although I can’t say the new generics necessarily always help with that).
