I am by no means an expert (or even a frequent user) of go. However, the most unfortunate foot cannon I have encountered is this:

    package main
    
    type HowOdd interface {
    	Poke() string
    }
    
    type AConcreteThing struct {
    }
    
    func (t *AConcreteThing) Poke() string { return "hehe" }
    
    func DoAConcreteThing() *AConcreteThing {
    	return nil
    }
    
    func DoAThing() HowOdd {
    	return DoAConcreteThing()
    }
    
    func main() {
    	lolWhat := DoAThing()
    
    	if lolWhat != nil {
    		panic("How could this happen?")
    	}
    }
    

I understand that the interface at the bottom is a non-null interface containing a null value, but...damn, that sucks.
