And part of that specific purpose was to prevent lesser developers from making a mess, like it or not.
It's not a perfect language, but it's a pretty good language for building shit and shipping stuff.
And it starts getting to you, because a lot of problems just don't have nice solutions in the language because of its limitations. So you start accumulating kludges, which lowers the bar for quality in the entire code base.
There are PLENTY of techniques and abstractions that are VERY useful yet not expressible in a sane way in Go.
It's a nice enough language for beginners, but acting like it's the end all of programming just makes you look like a fool.
