Well, then read type declarations left-to-right. It's the strangest decision in design of golang to reverse type declarations. I always read byte[] as `byte array`, not `an array of bytes`.
How do you read byte[5][2] from left to right? "Byte arrays of 5 elements 2 times in an array". It's impossible. On the other hand, [5][2]byte reads nicely from left to right: "Array of 5 arrays of 2 bytes". You start with the most important fact: that it's an array. Then you start describing what the array is made of.
