Whether variable declaration is 'flipped' or not depends on which languages you're used to. Duck typing has nothing to do with syntax or operators. ':=' is an explicit declaration (with simple type inference). The use of '_' to indicate an unused binding is common to many languages. Multiple return values in Go have about the simplest and most intuitive syntax imaginable. You separate the values with a comma both when returning them and when binding the returned values.
