what do you mean by expressive?

are you _really_ sure it is not just your bias that is preventing you from "expressing" what you want? ie. you want to write python/java in Go?

Go typically requires 2-4 times less code to do the same thing:

Not 2-4 times less than those Python programs (less would be shown as a fraction), but 2-4x more.
