A short excerpt of Rob Pike's Lang.NEXT 2014 talk where he describes Go's target audience as young Google programmers who are not researchers. The language has to be easy for them to understand and adopt.
Cited to show who Go was designed for, often in critiques of the language's simplicity.

> It's more likely that the person re-implementing the SSO flow is making a mistake The thread has other people confirming the same behaviour - and the description of the issue (preventing a double-submit of a non-idempotent action) is something most web-focused developers learn in their first year. I don't understand why people assume that the people working at Google/etc are inherently incapable of producing bugs. Go literally invented a new programming language to make their staff less likely to fuck up because they don't have much real world experience: ▶ this video
It's Go. The description fits well, and it's pretty much confirmed by the Rob Pike quote in the sidebar. ▶ this video
Here you go: ▶ this video I think Go could still work without completely neutering the type system. Algebraic Data Types and pattern matching are not difficult... python already has them.
