IMO, the author's "copy data to stdout" example betrays a lack of language understanding. Here's a more idiomatic version: http://play.golang.org/p/ZWatRuj3Q_

That's definitely shorter, but I would hope that isn't considered the most shining example of non-obfuscated code. :)

(For code golf, though, it's just fine.)

It's actually very simple code, if you're at all familiar with go. That's probably what I would have written just by sitting down at the computer to do so for work.
