Go's entire philosophy is that developers are a bunch of incompetent slobs, and it's the language's job to fix that. I can't say I blame Rob Pike for not trusting developers, and I've definitely seen more than one case of a C/C++ codebase riddled with thousands of compiler warnings that were just ignored en masse during compilation. There is another side of the coin, which is that experienced and disciplined developers who think they can take care of themselves, thankyouverymuch, would end up feeling limited by Go.
