It is pretty readable, but really non-functional too. Eg, they still don't have math.round and you wind up writing a lot of code because it can be a little bare bones or does things in a way that isn't quit usable.

I wouldn't say it is very expressive either. Go can be very wordy and verbose at times, and some things are downright a pain or poorly thought out (e.g, while Java has finally and C++/Rust have RIAA for dealing with resource deallocation Go has defer and it doesn't work really well when you encounter an error in the dealloc logic).

Simplicity is about Java 1.0. Give Go some time to add some technical debt before you get too excited about it simplicity.

It isn't a bad language. This is my second run thought the language, and I'm neither excited nor turned off by it.
