Variable declaration syntax is much better in Go than in C/C++

 

In staticly typed languages, a variable is a name which represents a piece of data of a specific Data Type. A data type's name should NOT be seperated. But this is not the case in C/C++. e.g.

int a[10];

An array of 10 integers is a specific data type. However, in C/C++, this specific data type's name is sperated into two parts by the variable name.

People certainly noticed this issue, and in successive languages like Java, this was improved.

int[] a;

In Go, it becomes even better by putting the [] first.

var a []int;

I say this is better because now you can read the code just from left to right by "define a variable named a whose type is array of integers.
