Go allows a wide range of complex metaprogramming through reflection, struct tags, ... to say that Go is void of that kind of garbage is lying.
Go also has a bunch of weird rules regarding type conversion and assertion, its type system isn't covariant... Go has its share of problems, so much that go maintainers themselves keep on introducing type unsafe API in their own std lib. Go has a type system problem, period.
Finally all platforms supported by Go aren't first class. Windows doesn't support Go plugins or Go shared libs AFAIK for instance.
