If you think that Go's creators "didn't know what they were doing" then I sure hope you exclusively run Windows, and not Unix, UTF-8, nor use anything else they had a hand in, like the JVM or the C programming language.
In fact, you might as well just stop using computers considering how important Go's creators are in this industry. Clearly if they can't be trusted, nothing can.
They should have hired someone that knew what he was doing.
