> Go is not an easy programming language. It is simple in many ways
This, exactly. It’s worth contrasting this with Python, which has a reputation for being simple but is actually extremely complex - but it is easy (at least for small programs).
However, I can’t help thinking that the two shouldn’t be in opposition. IMO it should be possible for a language to be both simple and easy to use.
