That's a great question.

I'm a huge fan of the Go compiler's general stubbornness. Have unused imports? Compile error. Have unreferenced vars? Compile error. Perhaps misleading indentation should be another compile error.

Pain the ass? You bet; it's a feature. Ignore the whiny kids who insist their 'flow' is broken by having to insert semicolons. Most software work is maintenance, not new code.
