No, swapping things is easy to pattern match against once you know the language.
This is even dumber than complaining about Lisp parentheses.
At least you can actually see everything with semantic value in Lisp!
I really prefer writing Go now for a number of reasons if I’m honest which are too numerous to list here.
And even if you somehow f-up the indentation. About every editor has a formatter that fixes it for you.
Its concurrency is awful, and makes shooting oneselves in a foot easy. Effective go teaching you how to basically make mutex using channels is just a practical joke, right?
As for C++ and libraries - Boost was and is a big one. Want HTTP? There's a full server implementation you can reuse easily https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/doc/html/boost_asio/ex...
I have the same opinion on Go - it's awful, it fails to deliver its promises, but it became popular because it was "a google thing".
Google itself supports go internally, but it is nowhere near being ubiquitous or even recommended - I think that tells you something about it too.
