A lot of these are simply the Go people declaring certain conventions by fiat: gofmt, the go build tool, a large standard library, and the like.
These are a lot of the benefits that Python had: everybody pretty much has to do things the same way (and there's PEP 8 that establishes non-enforced conventions), so I can start playing with a new codebase without having to figure out their conventions and build system too.
