Go is not an easy language

Seems to me there are a lot of different types of collections which all have a delete operation. Feels like go forcing you to hand roll a delete forces you to violate the principal that a bit of code should care as little as possible about things it's not about.

If code breaks because list is now a hashmap, that seems like an anti-feature.

Can you find/quote where that principle comes from? I'm genuinely curious.

I think it is mostly based on OOP paradigm, like principle of least knowledge.

It's a motivation for things like OOP, Generics, and macro's.
