> it fits in my head. This. I love Go's simplicity. Coming back to Go code I wrote months ago, I can immediately understand what it does virtually every time, which required lots of discipline I didn't always have in other languages. Lots of languages have obscure corners that allow you to do really cool things that aren't obvious, but for the most part, Go doesn't have these; what you see is what's happening. Are there things that would make Go a better language? Sure! Should the type system be improved? Yup! One thing that makes me cringe is when I open up library code and see interface{} and calls to the reflection package all over the place, but general solutions often require that in Go, and that's a problem. In practice, though, this is almost a feature: if you see that stuff in code you're reading, it's a giant red flag that this code is tricky and possibly slow, and care is needed. Edit: speeling
