That's the beauty of Go, generally, and why I immediately became attracted to it. The code is supremely readable because it enforces a style guide, and doesn't allow much magic.
A number of people don't like it for limiting their expression and abilities, which I understand that feeling too. But as a middle aged programmer I realized that readability trumps conciseness and cleverness in the long run.

I do like playing with go, it's sits in a nice little playground in my head, mostly thanks to the compile times I think.
