There's more to productivity than how many 1-line koans can I type per minute. I know I'm caricaturing other languages here a lot (and perhaps unfairly), but one of the more productive things about Go is the low amount of magic the next guy/gal after you will need to comprehend to do the next thing.

Style and maintainability still falls on the programmer, but Go code never "feels right" unless it's done neatly with as little magic as possible. I think that property is super beneficial in keeping a large and growing team/codebase effective and malleable enough.
