Hope escaping works: if (a \<b> { fmt.Printf("Hello, world\n") } FUCKING Tags and even worse validation!!
Hope escaping works:
if (a \ { fmt.Printf(“Hello, world\n”) }

Are you sure about this line?
if (a { fmt.Printf(“Hello, world\n”) }
The bracket behind ‘b’ seems to be weird….

Surely they will be taken out before a 'final' release :) Funny, I guess no one ran into the problem of their variable names colliding with those 5 reserved-and-useless keywords.

The code wasn't escaped and there's no preview for me to see what a cock up I'd made. Anyway, the first line is supposed to be the if statement in the first example. Meh!

An open bracket with no closing bracket but a closing greater than? if (a { fmt.Printf(“Hello, world\n”) }

At least on my keyboard. Actually, you have to press four keys to do “{}” but only three for “end”. At least on my keyboard.

The println isn't supposed to be used in non-bootstrapping code but you can easily replace it with import "fmt" and fmt.Println. I also find braces more readable and less verbose than then / end, and the distinction between := and = is necessary to allow shadowing. (Which I guess is of arguable value). It does make clear to the reader that the value is being declared and not just assigned to though. Also, the removal of parenthesis for function calls is questionable in a non-functional language, since they really help readability when you get to be nesting calls. Haskell does some beautiful things with it and the automatic currying, but it can make a mess sometimes too. There's also the issue of tuple assignment conflicting with argument separation if you use commas for the latter. Just to elaborate, cbeck’s comment is actually valid go syntax.

No need to do much source diving if you want to check for yourself, just do a quick search on the page I linked to for any of them, there is only one occurrence of each there, and they are right next to each other. @donaldguy: there are actually five of them: ‘notwithstanding’, ‘thetruthofthematter’, ‘despiteallobjections’, ‘whereas’ and ‘insofaras’.
