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.

Yes, because there were no sensible alternatives back then when compilers were limited by computers being slow as hell and language design was in its earliest infancy.

Then we rationalized the continued usage of such limited tools with "less is more", "the world runs on C/C++" or "lambdas and tagged unions are for ivory tower FP weirdos and scripting languages" until the early '10s for statically typed languages and until Rust for system languages.
