I had written a response, but was beaten to the punch by Steven and Alex by seconds.
I'll just add to what they've said. A surprising fact is that `int` is actually not an unnamed type, it's a pre-declared identifier: https://golang.org/ref/spec#Predeclared_identifiers Here's the (seemingly tautological) line of code which makes "int" a named type, for instance: https://github.com/golang/go/blob/master/src/builtin/builtin.go#L73-L75 So the odd one out here is `int`. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
