The purpose of human language is communication of concepts between two individual thinking people. The purpose of a programming language is literal instruction for a machine.

These are not directly comparable just because we use the same term to describe them.

To your second point, I wholeheartedly disagree. Go is not a difficult language to learn, nor is it particularly unique compared to the type of language it attempts to emulate. In fact I think it’s one of the easiest languages to learn if you already have experience in C-likes because of how obvious it is what it’s trying to do.

I think it is just a bad language. It’s simple to figure out how you need to use it, but it is obnoxious and tedious to do it in that way.
