No it isn't. CPUs now quite often have their own local memory so having explicit support for local arenas is becoming essential.

The idiotic error handling with tuples. For example. Then the whole generics fiasco.

From what I'm seeing, a lot of Go code out there simply has no error handling - it either works or fails mysteriously.
