I personally think that in the specific case of OOP code syntactic sugar declarative structuring stuff - and maybe also godoc header comments such as within type struct and type interfaces would make Go code even more readable. There is limits to how far readability and consequential maintainability can be made. People can write their code with meaningless names or names that are hard to contextualise, use numbers where names could be trivially substituted to quantify conditions, and so on, but in my opinion, in Go, a lot of conventions about comment positions and relationships to documentation and code can ease a lot of things.
For example, go fmt - it would be really useful if it automatically sorted implementations with interface definitions in a common ordering, and grouped them together, and even, automatically insert the boilerplate comment header for public methods that are missing implementations (or even, dare I say it, insert an empty dummy implementation as well). Other elements of OOP structuring are not so easy to automatically recognise as being linked together, though probably not that difficult, by searching for the collision of type bindings and interface signatures, so that the type struct is placed above the interface and the implementations below the interface and unimplemented function dummies below the implemented (and also sorted this way in the interface itself.
