Go subtleties

Great list! Reminds me to check out more of the new stuff in 1.25.

The one thing I wish Go had more than anything is read-only slices (like C#).

The one thing I wish more other languages had that Go has is structural typing (anything with Foo() method can be used as an interface { Foo() }.

In Go, string effectively serves as a read-only slice, if we are talking about bytes.

ReadOnlySpan<T> in C# is great! In my opinion, Go essentially designed in “span” from the start.

Yeah I think the C# team was definitely influenced by Go with their addition of Spans..

Interesting approach regarding using strings as containers for raw bytes, but when you create one over a []byte I believe it makes a copy almost always (always?) so you can’t get a zero-cost read-only view of the data to pass to other functions.
