If you compare Go to C++, Go has gotten more organized but still retains understandability, and in my opinion, C++ has become unrecognizable. I did 10+ years of C++ until around 2012, and since then the changes have been so quick and so drastic I would not call myself an experienced C++ programmer anymore. It's a shame because I love C/C++ but not what I see today, because they have lost what makes Go great: an opinion. They are trying very hard to be everything and it has changed the language too quickly to keep up.
