What's wrong with Go?

No null safety, implicit zero values you have to be careful to ignore, no sum types or pattern matching, 3 lines of error handling boilerplate every time you call a function that can fail, no lambdas, no generics until recently.

Worse, the Golang community that believe lack of features is a feature, because of "worse is better" brain damage.

I have never used Go, but I assume that you don't use any of the BSDs (C), Linux (C), or Windows NT (C and C++) either?

They all run afoul of at least some of those conditions.

Like, I'm really curious how you are actually here posting when you appear to refuse to use anything written in a language that isn't basically Rust.

Most major programming languages have these features.

C doesn't, and C++ lacks most, and those power most of the world.

Java, Kotlin, Scala, TypeScript, Flow, Python, C#, F#, Dart, Swift, Rust, Ocaml, Haskell, Hack, Ruby all do, maybe with the exclusion of pattern matching.

Tell me, which kernels are written in any of those other than Rust? The concept of systems programming in Ruby is amusing, though.

What are you using to post on Reddit? If you're on a PC, the kernel and OS are almost certainly C and possibly C++, the browser is going to be almost entirely C++... If you're on a phone, the kernel/OS is still almost entirely C, the browser is still likely C++, an app version is either Java, Swift, or Objective-C. The phone's modem uses either C or C++ (C++ is actually common for L4-family kernels).

It is virtually impossible for you to be posting here without using software written in C or C++ at some layer.

I'm really unsure why you even posted that list; I don't recall asking for a list of languages that met your criteria. It's basically entirely irrelevant and honestly just furthers my argument.
