Go simply isn't as flexible as Python. It's statically typed with no generics, so there is no "for loop vs map/filter/reduce" or "imperative vs functional" conversation to be had. This is categorically different than Python vs Perl, because Python's simplicity boasts were based on the discipline of the community as opposed to technical rails, as in Go's case.
