Naming

Brevity

Go prefers short names, with good doc comments for both functions and packages.
Imported package names are typed every time a symbol is used.

Go also prefers you drop the get prefix of getters.

Casing

func DoThing() { ... }  // exported functions are PascalCase
func doThing() { ... }  // regular functions are camelCase

Interfaces

// interfaces should end in 'er' (or similar)
Writer, Reader, Formatter, Notifier, Flusher, Stringer

// implementations of interfaces should drop the 'er'
Write, Read, Format, Notify, Flush, String

Syntax

Semicolons

Go uses semicolons as line-endings, but prefers that the semicolon is implied automatically.
