Same goes for Scala and Case Classes. Alas the type astronauts went crazy with Scala, scaring some folks off.

I agree. I wish the Scala community would inherit some of the simplifying culture of the Go community.

Scala 3 introduces a number of simplifications. For example, typeclasses and other constructs are much easier with Scala 3. This said, Scala always included the idea of having a powerful type system. From this perspective, it can never be as simple as a language that doesn't have a comparatively powerful type system (or no static type system at all).
