Go does not deserve this comparison. It is a well-engineered and conceptionally sound language, quite the opposite of php: https://eev.ee/blog/2012/04/09/php-a-fractal-of-bad-design/

It isn't PHP-bad, but it isn't a great example of clean, orthogonal design. The only generic data structures being maps, arrays/slices, and channels, is not indicative of a "conceptionally sound" language.

Don't get me wrong, it a great, practical, engineering-oriented 90% solution kind of language; "conceptually sound" seems like computer language theory got involved, and it didn't.

I would never think "conceptually sound" has anything to do with PLT. Seems like an odd definition...
