Quote of the documentation:
`The main "chip" of the language can be considered as an abundance of syntax,
intended to reduce the program's source code (templates, mixins, etc.) and a
variety of keywords to test and debug code.`

Many people believe that a short code is a distinctive chip D. If you do not
think so, then I have to assume that your quibbles are absolutely groundless.

In order to make something better, to find bold argument :)
If you like to write 50 lines instead of 10, it does not make you some kind of
guru, and the people who come up with the right design to Go - code monkeys.
