You know, sometimes I'm of the same opinion, especially looking at 
"defer" efforts in Go.

However, I wouldn't judge that in terms of mental capabilities. Every 
construct has some initial rationale but sometimes even best practices 
eventually become notorious. There are many point of views to every 
feature but in general features aren't divine and worth revising even 
this looks disparaging.
