I found it a bit of a restriction, but ideally I'm not shipping code with unused variables, so why put them in. In the worst case I'd viciously comment things out, then uncomment them and add them back where I'd deleted once I figured out what the problem was.

If you chart out a software project from "blank file" to "write one line - code review by 8 people before merge", then Go is suited to the latter. I find myself writing a lot of malleable code when I'm prototyping and Go is really getting my way. I dont dispute it is really useful (I worked for 6 years writing C, so I know about traps) but I really, really, really wish they would put a command line option to disable it.

  My IDE (IntelliJ or Eclipse) will remove unused variables when I save the file. Very very handy...
