Erik Meijer has a more nuanced view on the topic than you

I'd rather not watch a 40 minute video. Care to summarize?

"and the code that I read on the page is the code that is executed... the language is very deliberately simple and contained"

This is a dumb argument. The same thing can be said about assembly, and in fact this property doesn't hold true once you introduce abstraction through functions.

All well-written code is easy to read, and most poorly-written code is hard to read. Go does not change that.
