I feel like this discussion is departing from the simple clarification about what alternatives exist in the design space, and entering a debate about the merits of these alternatives vs. Go's choice, which was not my aim. While I'd be happy to discuss about my experience using these alternatives and how it's practical beyond being a purist, it doesn't really belong to a discussion about Go.
