Go and "simpler"? Really? C is simpler, Python is simpler, but Go?

  Yes - Go is both a simpler language than Java which does not lend itself to (nor does the ecosystem tolerate) the kind of architectural malpractice that enterprise Java typically becomes.

  Indeed https://leapcell.io/blog/the-origins-and-design-philosophy-of-go-language https://leapcell.io/blog/the-origins-and-design-philosophy-o... Go was originally designed to make life easier for googlers and make software engineering easy. In 2025, I can attest to the fact that Go is simple. Go is easy. Whether you can accomplish what you want in Go is another story. However, Go has a very basic structure and easy flow. Complexity comes from not understanding the go philosophy.

  Go is one of the simplest languages there is. Not always easy to create something at scale IMO, but certainly simple.
