I agree for the most part, and C/C++ probably wasn't the best of comparisons, its just one that I am quite familiar with. gopls is my language server of choice for debugging and the like, and it now comes with Go when you install it. I chose it because VSCode's Go Extension supports it with no configuration. And I wouldn't say there is no way to do class-based (Object-Oriented) programming, but you have to think about it in a different way. Take the library that I used for my discord bot, discordgo. While Go doesn't have dedicated object or classes it does a good job at doing object oriented programming in Golang.
