Others have answered, but I just wanted to add, your question is usually where beginners/non Go users start to pearl-clutch. I would advise, if you're curious, to give it a shot for a while. As with all new things, try to not just write the language you're used to, but in the syntax of the language you're using, and instead embrace patterns that exist in a given language. Lots of people find the things you're concerned about missing to not really be the end of the world. Or you might hate it, and that's also okay.
