Golang has to be the worst language for this problem considering it's young age. It was launched the same year at this post so it would have been a great opportunity back then to deal with the problem in a fresh language without needing to worry about compatibility constraints. It also doesn't have any ?. operator to elegantly deal with the problem. I know fast compilation and explicitness are the goals with go but I think this was a mistake.
