Go's entire schtick is being simple, eschewing language complexity in favour of letting the programmer handle it themself. Like C, but with pointer safety and garbage collection.

We learned from C++ and Rust that languages can be so smart that people can't effectively use them. Go is the opposite. It's so dumb that anyone can use it, but it doesn't have some native language features you might want.
