I wish the discourse that Go is a "simple" language would die.
Despite its veneer, once you start writing Go it quickly becomes apparent that it isn't simple. Hidden complexity and footguns are abundant (e.g., https://archive.ph/WcyF4).
It's nevertheless a useful language, and I use it quite a bit, but it's not "simple".
