If I want simplicity and maintainability, I’d pick Kotlin over Go. If I want speed, I’m picking Rust over Go. Why would I ever pick Go? It’s the best at nothing.
It's surely better than Kotlin in simplicity and maintainability. It also doesn't tie you to the JVM.
What if you want a single language that's pretty fast while simple and maintainable?
Recently I stumbled upon https://crystal-lang.org/ and I love it!
It's really great fun to build stuff in Crystal, I don't have anything prod-grade yet to say how it scores there but the community seems to be happy about that too.
Crystal is slow to compile. There is a variant of Crystal that compiles a lot faster. But I forgot its name. Need to dig it up when I get back home.

Then you pick C# which is both faster and simpler than Go.
Simpler it definitely is not. Better, yes I would accept that. C# is complex though.
didn't that language have like 150 keywords 10 years ago, it probably has 500 keywords now
I like C# but simpler? I don’t believe so.
C# may be easier but it is not simpler than Go
