I know, I followed the debate for a while, but that sounds much 
more like a defence of their own minimalistic aesthetics (which 
they don't deny) than a corporate requirement. With a different 
team Go most certainly would have exceptions and generics, like 
Dart. Makes no sense to claim that their server programmers are 
less skilled than their front end programmers?
