I'd rather read x.filter().map() than read the loops someone had to expand them into by hand.

I groan every time I have to implement the 15th type-specific loop implementation of what I'd do with a single map or fold in Ruby/Elm/Haskell/JS/TS/Crystal/every other language I use. It's not a lot of effort but it's a lot of mess and cruft.

i wish i could laugh, but i can't. the lengths people will go to work within such an impoverished language, and by means so antithetical to the go philosophy.
