Awesome job!
You should really give gofmt a chance. In my humble opinion it's one of the best features in Go.
No, I seriously mean it:
Even if you don't agree 100% with all their coding style choices, what they did do is establish definite coding conventions for this language.
This means it doesn't matter who wrote a piece of code, it will already look familiar to your eyes.
This is the number 1 reason why it's so incredibly easy to contribute in Go and maintain Go projects.
