Go isn't even simple. They tried to be simple, but mostly managed to only move the complexity around, or foist it on to the user's shoulders by not providing a layered, composeable API in the standard library.

Unfortunately, people often confuse this with the eliminatable kind, and end up making a bigger and bigger mess as they push things around.
