This is a false dichotomy though. Not wanting to end up as a kitchen-sink language like C++ doesn't mean that you have to swing completely to the other extreme and refuse to add any modern feature (except possibly after years of fighting), even the ones that exist in every other modern language and have proven to have no real downsides and be hugely useful (like sum types).

There is no false dichotomy in my comment. I'm quite happy using Go. It was easy to pick up, the executables work fast and flawlessly and as a language it delivers the required results in what I do so far. Time will tell, but its simplicity does work great for me, and I've tried quite a lot of languages in the past 2 decades.
