Structural typing is at least facially similar to duck typing. People contesting that are being pedants.

Structural typing is facially similar to duck typing when anonymous types (interfaces and structures) are allowed, as in OCaml. I don't believe either exists in Go.

They are absolutely allowed. [1] You can have anonymous structs in a similar fashion.
