I think lack of classes is highly desirable. So much enterprise code is poorly put together abstractions. I think go needs some more functional aspects, like iterators and result type/pattern matching.

Go does have iterators: https://pkg.go.dev/iter https://pkg.go.dev/iter

  Thanks! Did not see this until your message, looking forward to make use of this

The solution to bad abstractions it not to make it very difficult to create abstractions at all. For systems code I think it's fine but for application code you probably want some abstractions or else it's very hard to scale a codebase.

  It’s really not though. Plenty of systems are built in Go, Erlang etc that do not have the architectual monstrosities which commonly show up in object-oriented code, especially when a Java or C# expert beginner has been let loose.
