If context is not given, I can't tell if foo.Bar() is a function of package foo or a method of variable foo. That is, dot is used both for package namespace and method call.
Example: type T struct { } func (t T) Println(s string) { fmt.Println("method: " + s) } func main() { fmt.Println("hello from package function") fmt := T{} fmt.Println("hello") } https://play.golang.org/p/HZibMmJ8W5 I wonder if such an ambiguity came into Go... 1) on purpose, since the dot (.) is easy on the eye and simple key stroke (shift not needed) ? 2) by accident, since keyboards lack convenient alternate symbols ? 3) for other reasons ?
