You could say the same thing about Java, so your argument basically boils down into “I like Go, and I don’t like Java”. What is clear and important to one person is needlessly verbose to another, what is cryptic to a newcomer might be beautiful and concise to an expert. I’ve encountered idioms that horrified me the first time I saw them which I eventually grew to love, and I’ve been smitten by syntax sugar that I thought would be great and turned out to be a disaster. It’s hard to know how stuff like this will play out, every language evolves its own style and rhythm over time, and sometimes it takes reading and writing a lot of code to find the right balance.
