> Java initializes variables to their zero values I know, but that's not what I'm referring to here. I'm referring to someone writing: type A struct { A int B int } a := A {A: 1, B: 2} then modifying `A` by adding another field `C int` The code continues to compile, with `C` being initialized to 0, which can be incorrect. In Java or C#, you'd add a third value to the constructor, resulting in a compile time error for all constructor invocations. As I said, I've seen this issue come up in production resulting in bugs.
