Go is my hammer, and everything is a nail

I feel like autocomplete has reduced the problem of verbosity for all languages. And if I am writing something that is going to have to be supported a lot I want something that is very explicit and easy to read. For me that is the "verbose" languages.

This is exactly what I was going to say... ever since I started using Copilot, verbosity bothers me a lot less. It isn't painful when I don't have to type/copy/etc most of it.

I feel the opposite way about this, and find this kind of verbosity reduces the signal to noise of the intention behind the code
