To be fair, most million plus LOC projects match “misfortune” and “nightmare”.

Go is verbose, a million plus LOC doesn't go as far as it would otherwise.

I don't know, my experience with mega SLOC projects were Java, so verbosity was also a thing.

Go's verbosity is usually found in multiples (if err), not in long forms (int[] arrayOfIntegersWithValuesOneToFive = new ArrayFactory().createArrayWithSize(5).populateWithValues(1, 2, 3, 4, 5); ).
