I disagree. After only a brief runthrough of Go, the different types of statements are very recognizable line by line. The sytax includes less obvious breaks and parens, but I think that makes the code a lot more readable because it eliminates the nastier paren nesting you often see in C. I think the first example in chapter 2 gives clear indication of the benefits of eliminating the features of C which are more compact but less readable.
