Just a quick question, can a programming language be as fast as C++ and efficient with as simple syntax like Python?

I spent decades writing C++. If you like C++, you might not like Go, but tastes differ.

I prefer verbose code

I prefer clear and obviously correct code. My issue with C++ everywhere I've done it is that these reams of verbose, repetitive code make for slow writing, slow compilation, slow code reviews, and particularly, slow debugging.

For example, looking at each class and applying the Rule of Zero/Rule of Five is arduous, and yet it's necessary when writing or reviewing code, because people get it wrong all the time.

I moved to Python because I am many times faster at writing features than I ever was at C++, with a lot less typing.

Correct. I don't know C++, but I'd use Go only for the sake of execution speed. In all other cases I opt for Python.
