This is a valid Go program.

    import "fmt";

    func main() {
        fmt.Println("Hello world")
    }

This is an invalid Go program.

    import "fmt";

    func main() {
        // fmt.Println("Hello world")
    }

Surprising.

Creating typed general-use data structures is impossible.

Nope, you have to use imports. It's a little annoying but not "surprising" since the language shoves it in your face right away.

You're correct. I was in no way surprised by this language feature, and neither were any of my coworkers.

Go is a thoroughly "unsurprising" language.

A fatal error that prevents deployment is a lot more surprising than a warning.

You shouldn't even be at the point of attempting a deploy if your code doesn't compile.

Maybe I should also blog about how I was able to keep the size increase under 50x.

They are both still non-compilable.
