People who likes Go's simplicity, have you ever looked into the even simpler syntax of lisps? For example, Clojure have minimal amount of syntax, that once you know, you know the entire language. The rest is just libraries that you use, the actual program/data structures or language modifications (macros) that each codebase usually employs a bit different depending on needs. But lisp languages are really, really simple, even more simple than Golang (or any C like language) can be.
Take a look at this (short) page which describes ALL the syntax of Clojure (except macros) if you're interested: https://clojure.org/guides/learn/syntax
