Speaker: Dave Cheney, VMware (@davecheney)

Well socialised Gophers often cite readability as one of Go’s core tenets, I disagree.

In this talk I’ll discuss the differences between readability and clarity, show how to write clear Go code, and argue that Go programmers should strive for clarity, not just readability, in their programs.
