Go doesn't have macros, as they're a whole other can of worms, so the simplification one might use in C doesn't apply to Go. :-)
Go has great support for closures, so you tend to use function types more often (or perhaps just more naturally) than in C.
It is just a matter of getting used to it. I switch back and forth between Go and other languages, and it doesn't bother me. (The thing that does get me is forgetting to use semicolons in other languages.)
Thanks again, I really appreciate your input! I'm going to have to switch between the two to get a feel for it (and like you say, get used to it). I'm a big fan for language grammars (I enjoy writing them myself) so am looking forward to digging into it some more to see how it all works :)
