I think this is really the best feature of Go. It's a pragmatic language. The only complain I have is the incomplete/half backed reflect package.

My only complaint is the use of capitalization as public private. Because I quickly run out of naming variables/instances/structs, and naming is hard!
The more I work in JS the more I realized that I'm dumb. I'm not worthy to hold the power that JS has, much more other more complicated languages.
I tried Go. I like it. It makes me feel safe and smart enough to write production grade app.
Small docs, small language, no need fancy IDE, just any regular text editor like Vim works. Easy to read, easy to reason about. Everything is easy.
Now I finally can focus on other non-programming passion instead of chasing endless language features in other programming languages.
I like Go. The language for mediocre SWE like me. I code, I go home, I enjoy life.
