I think it would be a more productive discussion to ask whether go is a simpler language (compared to popular alternatives), not whether it is simple in an absolute sense. Given how complex computers and programming is, it's easy to argue that any language is not simple. It's a more interesting question to ask which of the languages is simplest.
