Greppability is an underrated code metric

Go is horrible due to the absence of specific "interface implementation" markers. Gets pretty hard to find where or how a type implements an interface.

Interfaces are consumer contracts, they say "I need this" not "I provide this".

Regardless, any reasonable LSP will let you "Find implementations" of any interface definition.

Yup, but we're talking about grep, not lsp. And that's precisely why I don't write go without an lsp (the rare times I do write go).
