A comment on Seven years of Go. Parent comment
Idiomatic is only good if the idioms are good. Historically for lots of languages, and I would include Go there, the prevalent idioms were crap.
E.g. Java circa 2000-2007 and the J2EE factory-singleton-factory-proxy-singleton-XML crapfest.
Or PHP and the "devil may care" attitude of pre-Composer PHP codebases (including big ones like Wordpress).
Or the tons of broken ways of working with Javascript until the community regained some sanity in the last 5-6 years.
