I'm not sure how making the language more expressive and less prone to errors makes programs more difficult to maintain? I'm not suggesting they keep adding new features and I do think they got that right. Too many languages keep bloating their languages with new features. A small feature set is the right goal, but I just think they picked the wrong feature set. The features are too primitive and put the burden onto their users vs. the lang devs.

There is no inherent correct or not, just opinion. If Go meets your needs, go for it (pun not intended, but still comical lol). I honestly don't think the ideal language exists (and it will look a little different for everyone), but something between Rust and Go with a little bit of OOP would be a sweet spot I think.
