Ironically, golang codebases tend to be more verbose than Java.

They've traded horizontal verbosity for vertical; you probably won't find a `SimpleBeanFactoryAwareAspectInstanceFactory` in Go; instead you'll probably find a long list of functions implementing some interface (`Stringer`, `Valuer`, etc).

I want to make a pasta comparison but can't think of a good one for Go, since it's often quite straightforward / not-spaghetti. Java is often lasagna code though.
