If your variable and function names don't explain what is going on, you
will encounter a big maintenance problem with your code as non-updated
comments contradict your unreadable code.
Very occasionally I find a use for attention-grabbing comments, number one
for this, and personally I consider this to be a flaw in the design of Go's
type struct and interface{} syntax is to isolate unimplemented code in
superclasses. In my code I use somewhat space-consuming commentary to show
the head and tail of the section that contains all the skeleton functions
required to allow parametric polymorphism and composition/inheritance. I
think it is a good case to argue that type struct should have three
sections, first, the struct variable elements, second for the template
function signatures, and third for the implementations. Well, I would even
suggest it should have a section for 'dummy' functions. Or maybe some
indicator in the interface that means the code will not run without a
composition overlaid to implement these functions.
It's not a dealbreaker for me, but I don't think the flexibility, while
there is a syntactic constraint that there must be a function declaration
for any function called, that requires what amounts to dumb boilerplate,
will remain in the Go spec down the track.
