I really hated this feature at first, but it's one of my absolute favorite things about Go now. In general Go communicates more information than other programming languages without nearly as much visual clutter. When reading code one rarely needs to check elsewhere to fully understand what is intended.

To each their own, it doesn’t sit well with me and I got used to `grep -rE ‘^pub’ <module>` to lazily get an idea of what is available to me.

Glad it works for you though, it’s not likely to change with my little whinge. :)

I don't even like the concept of visibility--at least as implemented in C++, go, Rust, and a host of others. The whole notion of "getters and setters" just seems like so much pointless boilerplate. Explicitly requiring mutability, as Rust does, is much better for data encapsulation and protection.
