Unfortunately, large parts of the IT industry thrive on excess complexity in software and languages. Which is probably why Wirth's languages went out of fashion at some point in the early 1990's. As far as Go is concerned, it really started out well, but with generics it finally broke ties with Wirth's spirit because adding them to the language makes it unnecessarily bloated and will never reduce the complexity of your problems.
