> The fact that the compiler doesn't cover that automatically doesn't mean Go fails at it

But that's exactly what OP was talking about. Maybe for you that doesn't mean Go fails here, but for (us) Scala developers it definitely feel like Go fails us. We want a language that fails at compiletime in as many cases as possible.

Maybe not for you. For me it is!

I agree it's fine to have different taste, as I mentioned in another reply to you.

But it's the difference between whether this statement is objective, or subjective.

Fair enough, that sentence is a bit over the top. I personally agree, but it is subjective and sounds like a fact.
