It seems very obviously detrimental to me (in the exact same way it's detrimental to people); e.g. use proper jargon with an LLM and you find it is suddenly an expert. The LLM has no trouble at all perfectly fluently using macros or monads or whatever thing people are afraid of to write simpler, more concise code that directly expresses the business logic in a fully type safe, high performance way that the compiler can introspect for even more information. Go of course lets you do none of those things and can only ever be used for "beginner code" by intentional design.
