I am new to Go and I have read Go;s-declaration-syntax <https://blog.golang.org/gos-declaration-syntax> documentation.
It states that: p: pointer to int Would be written as: p *int However, other than declaration syntax, "&" is the symbol for "the pointer to" like, q := &int The above code would be the same as: var q *int q = new(int) So, I would suggest, var q &int to be more consistent, but Go's syntax wouldn't permit this. Is there a reason behind this decision? I will get used to the syntax after a while, but in need of some reasonable explanation.
