Projects like OP's just tell me that OP doesn't understand Go, and why Go was designed the way it was. They're trying to make this cool thing from another language (that they understand and know how to use) work in Go. But if they really understood the philosophy behind Go they wouldn't be doing this (and their life as a Go programmer would be a lot easier).
But then, I had the same experience coding in Rails. I hated all the magic, the "if you do this then Rails will automagically do that". I want my program to do something because I have specifically written it to do that thing. No surprises, no hidden layers of abstraction. Nothing implicit. I spent a lot of time fighting the magic and trying to write simple, verbose code in Rails. It wasn't fun.
