They clearly are wrestling with these issues, which to me seems like taking the feedback seriously. Taking feedback seriously doesn’t imply you have to say yes to every request. That just gives you a design-by-committee junk drawer language. We already have enough of those, so personally I’m glad the Go team sticks to its guns and says no most of the time.
How is Go not a design-by-committee language? They don't have a single lead language developer or benevolent dictator, and as this blog demonstrates, they're very much driven by consensus.
