Anecdotally I always find Go code bases very easy to read compared to almost any other language. Is it not reasonable to assume this is because of "shepherding"?

Otherwise other effect would cause this? Perhaps my sample is unrepresentative, or perhaps Go programmers are somehow more competent?

Do you find it easier to read or to understand? I find Brainfuck code incredibly easy to read (there are only eight characters/commands in the language!) but almost impossible to understand.

I find it both easier to read and to understand.
