Pretty much my thoughts the other day... now that Codex does the writing, maybe I can finally switch to Go for the web backend stuff without being annoyed by some of its archaisms and gain significant execution performance, while still having a relatively easy to read language.
You ask a machine to write your code and you still care about being easy to read?

In my experience the people who care the most about code readability tend to be the people most opinionated on having the right abstractions, which are historically not available in Go.
