One thing that is perhaps counter intuitive is how you do a lot of for loops compared to other languages (Compiled/Statically typed included). Once you let go your previous expectations, Go gets a lot nicer to use.

The amount of for loops you will write will also makes it obvious when you start doing O(n^2) operations in your methods. Same can be said with variables declaration and error verifications in Go. They are annoying at first, but then you understand by reading your code the places where error can occur or where you decided to ignore errors (By using _).

It's a different approach and it's refreshing.

This compiles:

    package main

    import "errors"

    func main() {
        f()
        println("hello erroneous world")
    }

    func f() error { return errors.New("boo") }
