I don’t want to overstate the problem; I think it is a bit less readable. While types are rarely so indescriptive as “x”, they are often still plenty indescriptive, and I don’t know why we should introduce a syntax that depends on the clarity of type names or the frequency of other potentially ambiguous constructs when we could use a syntax that is unambiguous with no caveats and friendlier/more familiar to the larger body of programmers who have not yet tried Go.
