    int *i, j;

is more than a good enough reason for me. Makes interviews interesting, though: "Why are you repeatedly writing your variables and function parameters incorrectly?"

Interesting example. I'm still a newbie to Go, so would that be written as:

  var i int*
  var j int

My apologies if this seems like a simple question: I haven't played with the language enough to know :)

[EDIT: Sorry, I didn't realize how to format code!]

The asterisk goes before the type for pointers:

    var i *int

Unlike C, values are always initialized in Go.
