Go is also annoying with its anal retentive source rules. I finally got so frustrated that I modified the compiler: https://github.com/kstenerud/go

Thank you for this. The passive-aggressive style of erroring on unused variable while staying absolutely silent when I accidentally print the &int variable with %d format, always seemed like an inconsistency to me.

It really is a sad state of affairs when disabling the linter requires patching the compiler. I wonder if any of the LLVM-based Go compilers will adopt a saner policy?
