Which is something of an irritation and bemusement to me; I remember when Java came out and the paean at the time was that it was written as a simple language, that average programmers can easily use. And was SOUNDLY SHIT ON for that. Who would want to use something for... pish posh, AVERAGE programmers!?!
Then Go essentially did the same marketing move, and this was seen as some glorious genius big brain move from on high.
