Is Golang just a safety blanket for developers who can't handle C++?

Honestly, looking at all these new AI frameworks being shoehorned into Go makes me wonder if we’re just masochists. Why are we so obsessed with "simplicity" when we still have to write 50 lines of boilerplate just to handle a basic error? Is anyone here actually building production-grade agents in Go without secretly wishing they could just `import` their problems away in Python, or are we all just coping while our goroutines leak into the void? I’m genuinely curious if the "performance gain" is even real at this point or if it's just a myth we tell ourselves to feel superior to the data scientists
