A comment on “Modern” C++ Lamentations. Parent comment
Oberon-2, Concurrent Pascal, Active Oberon and Zonnon variants were designed by students or together with ETHZ fellow researchers.
Oberon is smaller than Modula-2, and Oberon-07 lost features on each language revision.
So from our point of view Go isn't complex.
From my point of view Go still lacks several features, which Go 2.0 will kind of address.
However, from Wirth's point of view, which after being retired was still trying to design such minimal language, Go is indeed complex.
You can see this by reading the language reports.
