Biggest issues for me here were generics & the dependency situation, both of which are being fixed. But even back then, I loved using Go, mostly for what it DIDN'T have. Even ternaries, while convenient, inevitably lead to someone using them to write some really stupid shit that's hard to read. Overall, I'm a fan of losing a few helpful abstractions in order to get rid of all the bad ones, whether in the language itself or in it's ecosystem. And Go delivers on that.
