Easier to read is not something I'd particularly accuse Go of. If you want that, stick with python. Lack of generics can end up really hurting Go for cleanliness.

Something I ran in to the other day when I was trying to produce a reverse sorted list of strings:

    sort.Sort(sort.Reverse(sort.StringSlice(dir_contents)))
