there are first class functions, and closures work the way you would expect. Since it's statically typed and there are no generics, there's no way to implement something like a left fold; you'd have to implement it on a per-type basis, but you could certainly do that. I believe the answer you're looking for is "no", but Go's functions are nothing to sneeze at. http://jordanorelli.tumblr.com/post/42369331748/function-types-in-go-golang http://jordanorelli.tumblr.com/post/42369331748/function-typ...
