I bet if I was unemployed enough go through python mails, I would find a similar argument.
The problem with “Batteries Included” is that batteries run out of juice eventually.

It was more a joke than an argument. Learning Go was like that Nate Bargatze sketch from SNL where he plays George Washington.
"Sir we need a loop" "We will have for loop, and nothing else." "Only one lo.." "Only for loop"
It’s versioned because the function signature differs but the abstraction itself doesn’t.
That’s not to say that Go doesn’t have multiple different abstractions for common problems too. Just that your specific argument here is incorrect.
