> Is it possible that Go or any other language du jour just seems cleaner because it's newer and so the cruft hasn't had a chance to form yet? Come back in 10 years, and tell me how amazing it is then. That's the reason why. Most Go codebases 5/10 years down the road will be as obnoxious as any other 10 year old code base written in any other language. It happens with every generation of developer. I still remember 4 years ago when Nodejs was deemed simpler, cleaner and easier to maintain than Java ... I would hate having to maintain 4 year old Nodejs codebases today.
