This is basically argument from implementation simplicity. I am of the opinion that implementation simplicity is overrated, and should be essentially ignored, especially for projects as widely used as Go.


It's not. It's in a document proposing a more complex approach.

The point of that discussion, which is clear in the original text, is to identify the benefits of the existing approach and retain them if possible through the transition to a register based ABI.


The cost/benefit of simplicity vs. register calling conventions is probably a part of the reason they switched to register calling conventions.
