The sharp edges in Go are when you try to use the built-in mechanisms that are supposed to replace data sharing - e.g. channels - only to discover the numerous footguns that abound there.

And then there's patently stupid design decisions like using raw slices as collections and the maybe-change-maybe-copy semantics of append() that don't make it easier to reason about shared data when it needs to be shared.
