Right? Sigh. I really dislike this. There are 37000 programming languages, stop forcing every single one that gets popular to look like this.

  It's almost as if the choices that make languages "look like this" are the ones that are generally associated with a more productive development workflow.

    Actually no. It’s dev FOMO. A tremendous amount of go has been written without all this. Go has just gotten more popular so devs want to make it into something they’ve used before instead of learning to use the language the way it is.

    That's funny because that's factually untrue. Go's early popularity and professional adoption were largely driven by its perceived productivity boost linked in part to the small surface area of its spec, long before this subpar generic implementation was forced into it.
