Eh, the only real surprise in Go's syntax is the odd ordering of type and variable names. That is, I think, a welcome change for those of us who sometimes have a hard time remembering if *a[] is an array of pointers or a pointer to an array. There wasn't anything I couldn't puzzle out without looking it up on the basic syntax side of things.
Rust, by contrast, introduces more new syntax for things like it's various sorts of pointers. And there are other things that look new to me too, thought that might be due to me not knowing ML. They're there for a good reason, but they add to the learning curve.
