I consider this to be a non-issue. There are two ways of writing in a new
language.
- You can learn the language as defined.
- You can write it the way you like it and convert to what is required
and then convert every one else's stuff to what you like. Go makes it
fairly easy for
imo a very important aspect of a language is enduring syntax stability.
Too many 'modern' languages lack even the most fundamental requirement of a
solid Language Specification. Well done Go! And love or hate Java, that's
what made it stable enough for it's massive and enduring success.

Here is the analoguous discussion concerning the ternary operator in Kotlin:

After 168 posts to this thread where the thread creator did not want to
accept that the language needs no ternary operator, the thread was finally
closed by the ad
Agree with
Mike Schinkel
if IF become functional then useful
else if it is just a syntax change have absolutely no interest

I disagree with the suggestion.
IF statement indicates a branching of execution path. It should be made to
stand out so that when people are skimming through the code can immediately
pick up these alternate execution paths. Changing it to a mere "?" will
reduce its visibility. You have to read

I've wanted that too, but what we already have really isn't that bad.

IMHO I've wanted a switch expression, rather than a switch statement for
a while.
value := switch test {
case true => "red"
case false => "blue"
}
or
value := switch item.(type) {
case int => item
case string => strconv.Atoi(item)
case time.Time => {
... something more involved .
Wow that was some bad typing + bad auto correct...

Your original proposal did not have the colon and also implied the {} were
mandatory. And what stops the sane syntax from. Ring nested ?

I don't think that's an answer to my comment. Was it intended to be?
lgodio wrote that they wanted ternary operators, but were not
advocating that it be possible to allow nested ternary operations. I
don't see how this is possible if you write the grammar as the only
sensible interpretation
TernE
switch test {
case true:
//..code block for test=true
case false:
//..code block for test=false
}

How would you preclude it?

Just to clarify : My original proposal was to include as part of Go the
syntax
(test) ? {
{ //..code block for test=true
} : {
//..code block for test=false
}
I am NOT in favor of allowing nested ternary operations
In addition, I also propose allowing un-nested '?' as an alternative
