You forgot that most of golangers are ex-php programmers and students with no experience. Just look at what they're talking about: they think generics are the opposite of simplicity and can make performance and compilation time worse. Meanwhile, Nim has generics with other useful features and has faster compilation time along with better optimization. If google would put 'goto' into go golangers would still use it anyway.

I've tried go a few times and it was full with repetition and boilerplate - felt like java 1.0. It seems like new coders like to repeat themselves more often than learn how to use proven concepts.
