That's the target audience from the very beginning. Observing that the majority of Google engineers are mediocre, Rob Pike slapped together a language that matches their level. That involved "no parameterized types" and "no closures". Josh Bloch was strongly insisting on "no closures" in Java, but they were still introduced. So there was a business need to invent a language dumber than Java.
