FYI I recently posted a proposal for some unambiguous syntax which would give a lot of the value of ternary operators i.e. write the 5 line if-else block in the FAQ as a 1-liner, without the drawbacks, while IMO preserving the simplicity of the go language in approachability, readability and orthogonality.
