I came to really dislike embedding interfaces and types, but I know I'm a minority opinion, on this.

When I came to go from OO (ruby), and before I learnt to use embeddings, something blew my mind : I could always say where a function was coming from, and which functions were available in the current scope. No need to grep anymore to find from which parent class or which included module a method was coming from.

And after I started using embedding all over the place, I realized that problem was back again. Go made me love the idea of "simplicity, not easiness" and the fact that I can get what code was doing immediately, without wondering where parts were coming from. Today, I prefer to avoid embedding altogether. I use function parameters instead of types, and this also has the advantage of avoiding initialization problems (and if I omit a parameter, I'm immediately warned by compiler).
