I agree! I'm a Go programmer, and while I do wish it had some more features at times, Swift is an example of how it can easily go out of control and ruin a promising language.

For example tests, there's so much magic. How do I know it runs the test for each item in the arguments array? What if there were multiple arguments? After using Go for close to a decade now, I'm really seeing the wisdom of avoiding magic, and making your testing code the same language as your building code! Compare:

Swift:

    @Test("Continents mentioned in videos", arguments: [
      "A Beach",
      "By the Lake",
      "Camping in the Woods"
    ])
    func mentionedContinents(videoName: String) async throws {
      let videoLibrary = try await VideoLibrary()
      let video = try #require(await videoLibrary.video(named: videoName))
      #expect(video.mentionedContinents.count <= 3)
    }

Go:

    func TestMentionedContinents(t *testing.T) {
      tests := []struct{ Name string }{
        {"A Beach"},
        {"By the Lake"},
        {"Camping in the Woods"},
      }
      for _, tt := range tests {
        video, err := library.FindVideoByName(tt.Name)
        if err != nil {
          t.Fatalf("failed to get video: %v", err)
        }
        if len(video.MentionedContinents) > 3 {
          t.Errorf("video %q mentions more than 3 continents", tt.Name)
        }
      }
    }

Go with timeout handling in case the FindVideo function takes too long (idk Swift magic well enough to know if it'd do this automatically!)

    func TestMentionedContinents(t *testing.T) {
      tests := []struct{ Name string }{
        {"A Beach"},
        {"By the Lake"},
        {"Camping in the Woods"},
      }
      for _, tt := range tests {
        t.Run(tt.Name, func(t *testing.T) {
          ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 30*time.Millisecond)
          defer cancel()

          video, err := library.FindVideoByName(ctx, tt.Name)
          if err != nil {
            t.Fatalf("failed to get video: %v", err)
          }
          if len(video.MentionedContinents) > 3 {
            t.Errorf("video %q mentions more than 3 continents", tt.Name)
          }
        })
      }
    }
