Why is Go syntax so messy (lemmy.ca)

I understand Rust being type safe, but Im seeing syntax that Ive never seen in my life in Go which looks too messy

var test int < bruh what?

:=

func(u User) hi () { ... } Where is the return type and why calling this fct doesnt require passing the u parameter but rather u.hi().

map := map[string] int {} < wtf

I'm curious what's triggering you, as of writing this comment, the (5) comments I see are all reasonable explanations that tries to help OP understand the language.

Upvotes does not necessarily mean people agree with OP's stance.

I'm not triggered by any of this. I'm not sure why my thinking the question is inane would count as "being triggered".

Upvotes does not necessarily mean people agree with OP’s stance.

It should mean they think it's a useful/interesting question and I think it very much is not. It's just someone whining that it doesn't look like something they're used to and a bunch of very patient people generously leading them through the very basics of the language that's well covered in many introductory tutorials - as such it makes it all a waste of time and worthy of being buried.
