Been using Go for two years now, coming from C. Totally fair points. Go’s quirks can feel more like landmines than design decisions, especially when coming from languages that handle things like RAII, error scope, or nil with more grace. But part of Go’s charm (and curse) is its unapologetic minimalism. It’s not trying to be elegant, just predictable and maintainable at scale. Saying “no sane person” would choose X might feel cathartic, but it shuts down understanding of why rational teams do choose Go and often thrive with it. Go’s not for everyone, but it does what it does on purpose.
