IMHO there is something rigid in Go,like C rigid.Sure,there is no manual memory management.But a modern language shouldnt need explicit pointers.

> a modern language shouldnt need explicit pointers

I don't understand this. Can you clarify why you think this is a good idea?

My experience with languages that have implicit "references" (Python, Java, JavaScript) is that it's not clear when you're sharing and when you're copying data, leading to bugs and unnecessary allocations, respectively.
