Hi Mr. Bushnell,
The code block identifier, in Go are { }. They are already part of the
syntax if I'm not mistaken.
Go proudly aiming to be a simplifying, lowest common denominator language
makes sense to me.
In that sense, the { signs tightly bound to declarations and control
statements is redundant.
In go { identifies a beginning of a code block, except where you have
control statements of declarations.
It could be reasonably argued that this is redundant, and therefore not
common lowest denominator.
