Go is simple and fast to use, but not so elegant under the hood, which is part of the cost.

Go is great for readability and changing of code, depending on the dev and time though.

Could you explain this? IIRC they kept the language simple so that they can keep things elegant in tooling / compilers / etc as well. Or is this about the runtime?
