I think you probably didn’t spend enough time with Go, it is objectively much easier to learn because there is no borrow checker, no generics, no macros, etc.
I've already addressed that the language is simpler, but that doesn't always translate to easier to learn.
If the level of "learned a language" is just being able to write code then Go is easy. But writing an app and dealing with all of Go's oddities made it much more cumbersome for me.
