Well that's good, since Go was specifically designed for juniors.

From Rob Pike himself: "It must be familiar, roughly C-like. Programmers working at Google are early in their careers and are most familiar with procedural languages, particularly from the C family. The need to get programmers productive quickly in a new language means that the language cannot be too radical."

However, the main design goal was to reduce build times at Google. This is why unused dependencies are a compile time error.
