• env vars
  • GOPATH (workspace)
  • GOROOT (install dir)
• “factored” import statement
• uppercase symbols are automatically exported (math.Pi)
• functions
  • return type *trails* function prototype
  • no need to duplicate consecutive arg types (x, y int)
  • multiple return values “(string, int)”
  • named return values “func split(sum int) (x, y int) {”
• variables
  • “var c, python, java bool”
  • initializers “var i, j int = 10, 20”
  • short implicit in-function form “k := 3”
• type conversions are necessary
• loops
  • for [init] ; cond ; [iter] {
  • for cond { [“while”]
