Like most opinions about programming languages mine is highly subjective. So viewer discretion is advised: What OP describes is exactly what drove me away from using Go for my 'high level' projects. Now Go is a great language with great ideas but hacking something together in it is such a pain that I don't get a warm feeling when thinking about coding in Go. All those small things add up to where it just gets tiresome. Not something I want experience during programming. There should be some kind of "I know what I'm doing"-mode that lets you import unused packages, etc.

All those small things add up to where it just gets tiresome. Not something I want experience during programming. This has exactly the opposite effect on me. I feel the strong grip of the compiler greatly comforting me during development. Form frees.
