Yes and in Go (and hopefully all curly-brace languages of the future) this is actually a syntax error, you need the braces:

  if (a < b) {
     a = b;
  }


The thing I don't get...if braces are mandatory (Good), why keep the now completely, unambiguously, irrelevant () around the cond?


If you ran the code through gofmt, it would remove the () around the cond for you. I code go in SublimeText with GoSublime. On every save it runs the file through gofmt and reformats it for me. Keeps my code looking pretty with very little effort.


You don't need those parens in Go, and go fmt will in fact remove them/


They're actually not required in Go.


And you don't need the semicolons!
