Personally I find struct field tags a nice way to encode the json fields. They also allow you to use upper case names for all struct members. I’ve never had an issue with the way json is done in golang, and I’m kind of confused by this rebuke. What’s wrong with using string pointers? What helper methods are necessary to write? This kind of feels the same as reading a rant against strict types.
