TBH 1,3 and 4 of your arguments are just subjective. You are used to something different and not willing to learn this way or dislike the appearance.. For 2 you can see it that way. Or you are glad there are no exceptions and prefer the explicitness of error handling in Go. So in the end it's also subjective I guess. I remember when I first looked at Go ~7-8 years ago I also didn't like the syntax. However it grew on me and now I like it. Opinions change. These days I try to not instantly judge something on my initial feelings.
