My experience is the same. I spent a couple of weeks playing with Go and had such an easy time with it. I can go back into the code I wrote and understand exactly what's going on. I can't say that about most languages I tried. I can even make sense of other people's code in large, complicated Golang codebases despite having little development experience.

This probably scares people whose livelihood depends on managing complexity in other languages. If anyone can get up to speed quick, anyone can potentially make the program that eliminates the need for that complexity.

I don't know that Google had this in mind while developing Golang, but they stand to benefit from commoditizing development. This is fine for someone like me who has zero interest in it as a career but does use a lot of scripts and plugins for creative work. Right now it's $10+ every time I want to do something with music/video/art where free or included stuff doesn't work or doesn't exist. If every DAW, video editing suite, and art/graphic design program had a scripting language as easy to use as Golang, I would never need to pay for add-ons.

The markets would still exist, but they wouldn't be as lucrative. Pricing would go from value to commodity.
