Many language decisions in Go (e.g. lack of generics, baked-in magic concurrency primitives, extensive focus on imperative looping, baked-in formatting conventions) are arguably designed to homogenize developer output. This is essentially making decisions for the developer and limiting cleverness, but many developers feel a sense of liberation (rather than limitation) as they are freed from making those decisions, and instead can settle into the comfortable task of translating natural language into code (presumably homogenized to as few constructs as possible to make it easier for Google to train the AI that will replace them).
