Lisp manages it. Even if you do use type annotations.

  No. This cognitive load is conceptual. You can't avoid it by using slightly different syntax.

    I think the problem is that the Box / Map / any stuff and all the explicit declarations that Go requires makes it harder. In Haskell as well, you can let the compiler infer a lot of things but that doesn’t appear to be the case with this example. I’d want the compiler to infer things, but that - I think - is at odds with Go desiring a fast compiler, which I also understand.

      I was about to mention Haskell as well, I feel like it also avoids this sort of cognitive load. Maybe it's something to do with the languages being designed as functional languages instead of languages with functional components.
