> "Go is often touted for its ease to write highly concurrent programs. However, it is also mind-boggling how many ways Go happily gives us developers to shoot ourselves in the foot."

In my career I've found that if languages don't allow developers to shoot themselves (and everyone else) in the foot they're labelled toy languages or at the very least "too restrictive". But the moment you're given real power someone pulls the metaphorical trigger, blows their metaphorical foot off and then starts writing blog posts about how dangerous it is.

Though a good language would point out that what the junior (or in some cases even senior) dev is holding in their hand is in fact a gun and not a gun disguised and marketed as this nice and easy to use toy, which is especially true for Go.

One must keep in mind that devs manage to implement even flawed logic that is directly reflected by the code. I'd rather not give them a non-thread safe language that provides a two letter keyword to start a concurrent thread in the same address space. Insane language design.
