As a Go dev, its simplicity is arguably taken too far. For example there are no union types or proper enums
Yeah. I started as a C++ dev, fell in love with Go, then ended up on Rust.
Felt like a nice middle ground of "It's got the types I need, but it feels good to dev on"
I really did enjoy using go for smaller projects though, would do so again.
That's fair, I know they're actively rejecting inheritance, but I wish you could make like a prototype. Like say, a function can take a struct with these fields. Which yeah an interface can do but is much more clunky
