Go is "penny foolish and pound wise", to subvert the maxim. It is indeed trivial for programmers to just do the work, and in return you get an amazingly regular system that saves huge swathes of time grappling with larger issues. I've noticed this realization occurring to other programmers. It's not at all obvious until you've written a significant amount of Go code.
