I really appreciate you effort in pointing out the correct way to do things.

In my defence I would like to point that this post was to help beginners get hands on experience writing Go code, adding design patterns or organising the code base to make things "correct" will only confuse a person who has just started to learn Go.

And to be frank, I too don't have much practical knowledge about it. If you don't mind can you point me in the right direction?
