Go is verbose. That slows me down when I’m _reading_ code. Especially when it means the chunk of code I’m reading doesn’t fit on my screen.

Java is verbose, C++ is verbose, Golang is not. Golang actually cared about verbosity. For example, uppercase letter means that your function is exposed, no keyword!
