Well for one, Go is not a weakly, dynamically typed language, and this also isn't an issue of type checking at all.

  Sure, I did not mean Go specifically when I said that, just stating how when I used linters in other such languages, it was not comprehensive enough to replace a language with types and other niceties built-in. I also don't use much Go because it lacks good algebraic data type support, honestly can't imagine going back to a language that doesn't have them as I like to define all my business logic in types and then build the actual application from there. Go simply doesn't have that capability.

    I'm not familiar with algebraic data types, what's missing from Go that makes that impossible? Sounds about like defining structs/other custom types before writing any method bodies, which is what I'd typically do in a Go project.
