I'm of the opinion that making a language too simple results in the worst code. Sure it's easier to learn, but you end up with crap when you're trying to do something complex and there's no good way to represent it. BASIC and VBA are extreme examples but they support my opinion :). Go has a ton of shortcomings. No good popular package management system with versioning, hacky JSON parsing, no generics. Rust is becoming a good counter example, they listen to the community and pump out features that everyone is excited about. Like async recently. Google has a habit of ignoring the community. Angular is a great example. I've been following a feature request for close to 3 years that has over 100 comments asking for it. A simple thing too. Many people have opened PR's and begged for it in vein, even as recent as a week ago.
