I've heard this several times - "Go would be great if only they added <my-favourite-feature>"...

Go's philosophy is that a coherent, curated feature set is as valid an approach to language design as the C++/Python/... approach of adding every possible language feature.

In particular I doubt Go will ever add null-safety - given the above philosophy, the language's pervasive use of "zero values", and its strong commitment to backwards compatibility.
