Great write-up.

In idiomatic Go, we often use struct literals (together with "make the
zero value useful", e.g. allocate map-typed fields lazily) instead of

x := &FooBar{
A: a,
B: b.c(),
}
instead of
x = newFo

that, but even after doing some serious Go development - in the Go style - I
can agree with many of your points.
