As in a number of previous questions, this one was asked poorly and the answers
dance all around the intention. I had decided never to enter the fray of these
oddly-put assertion/half questions, but since this is lingering, may I suggest
that this is his real question:
“can we have var-style declarations in the places where the shorthand syntax is
allowed?”
elaborating…
for i := 0; i < 10; i++ {…}
might also allow
for var i int; i < 10; i++ {…}
and likewise in other short-variable-permitting contexts.
Personally, it seems that the simplest argument in favor would be orthogonality
and the best argument in favor would be the natural creation of multiple scope
local variables. This “best” is not very strong, though, since it is unclear to
me how you could introduce variables of multiple types.
Not taking sides here…just feeling that the core issue was not addressed. Nor
was the much better question that was not asked, “why was the decision made in
Go not to allow non-short variable declarations in these contexts?”
