I’ve used go for around 5 years on multiple large deploys without touching the reflect package. It is neither recommended nor necessary.
Go is radically minimalist compared to other languages - it leaves a lot out, most notably inheritance.
You can absolutely catch up with the concurrency model, on the single binary deployment, and a other features. Go isn't "minimalist", that's false, go look at the reflect package, it's complex as hell.
