There are far more readable languages in go. Go also encourages nested conditionals which can become a nightmare to trace when you're under duress.

Maybe I'm missing something but Go _discourages_ nested conditionals. There are even static analysis tools in the idiomic toolkit which tell you when your conditionals can be simplified.

No it doesn't, quite the opposite actually. Go favours "exit early" strategies
