There’s nothing wrong with a language being strict with what you can do to force good programming styles. An expectation of competence is nice if you can afford it, but it’s also nice to have languages that mean you don’t have to take that risk. It’s why I liked Go and why I disliked working in Haskell. Look at Lisp - large teams get tied in knots because of the freedom. Go was nice because it just stopped you doing ‘smart’ things. Now it has generics you may as well use Rust or something else.
