I love go and all but append has some serious problems in my opinion. Look at this code for an example.

https://play.golang.org/p/qWCnF7d7Fl9

This is unexpected behavior at best.

At a fundamental level, it's not so much append as slices being shareable and doubling up as vectors (being appendable). That's the core sin.
