And how much of those problems are an artefact of moving fast and getting things down.

I've seen the exact same scenario with other languages. The problem is that in a start up environment you are likely adding amd retiring more "features" at a speed that layers so much complexity that you can no longer reason about what business rules are actually valid any more.

I think that's part of it. There is a convention over configuration issue as well. A language like Go forces some patterns like package management and formatting unless you actively try to subvert it.

It wouldn't surprise me if many of these issues are self-selecting in the language communities as well.
