You're right. Go is simpler, cleaner, and lower level.

But as with anything, when you have the experience even the linked-to code is second nature and not an issue - it's boilerplate, yes, but it is simple stuff that is both obvious and clear to those within the ecosystem and simply represents a different approach.

Personally whilst I use Go daily I think Linq in C# is far superior to anything in Go, but it doesn't stop me using Go as well as C# because each has its own approach and each is a better fit for specific needs.

Funny, I use the fluent extensions from System.Linq a lot, but almost never use actual LINQ syntax.

Yeah, sorry, that's what I meant - Linq in proper-case not caps. Another of Microsoft's annoying naming decisions.
