It teaches you know that, when you write func bar() int { for true { ... } return 0 // whatever } You can write it as func bar() int { for { ... } } The compiler will not teach you this. ;D Usefulness might be subjective. Personally, the last two subtleties mentioned in the article are useful for me too. You may find some useful (in your opinion) subtleties in the Go Details and Tips 101 book: https://go101.org/details-and-tips/101.html https://go101.org/details-and-tips/101.html, and some since-Go-1.22/3 ones here: https://go101.org/blog/2024-03-01-for-loop-semantic-changes-in-go-1.22.html https://go101.org/blog/2024-03-01-for-loop-semantic-changes-... and https://go101.org/blog/2025-03-15-some-facts-about-iterators.html https://go101.org/blog/2025-03-15-some-facts-about-iterators...
