TBH, I think a big argument in favor of square brackets over angle brackets is that they ascend above the center line in most typefaces, which makes them much more visually distinct from the shorter operators and many lowercase letters. This is similar to parens and curly braces while still being visually distinct from both. As something that is essentially a metaparameter which is similar to, but distinct in function to the arguments in parens, there's a lot of good consistency going on there that I personally find easier to visually scan without syntax highlighting than I do angle brackets. But that could be just me, and it does depend on typeface, so take it with whatever grains of salt you need to. - Dave -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
