All of this sounds great but it doesn’t mean that the code written in it will maintain the same level of simplicity/approachability. Go has the advantage of enforcing it. Writing code is easier than reading it.

Don’t get me wrong, I love swift but I think that for what you’re talking about constraints are necessary because we naturally shift towards more complex ways of expression.

Exactly, I was in love @ Swift 2, but as the language evolved to cover corner cases and enable things like SwiftUI, it became nigh-unreadable, there's simply too many 'dialects'.

Dart is the closest I've found to optimizing the surface area of a language while maintaining flexibility like ObjC.
