In my experience Go's relatively constrained language and standard library coupled with gofmt mean Go code written by entirely different people tends to read fairly consistently.

Style wise for sure. Structure? Choices of libraries etc? Definitely not. Not enough consensus for even the simple "I want make MVC style webapp".

When worked on Go projects, I found that I was far more likely to read library code to see how to use it than other languages I used. Cannot be too "fancy" is definitely a strength of Go as a programming language.
