[TMPARSERFUCK] map[string]map[string]string is the norm?

Question

go

I'm just looking at the language. The syntax is... very controversial in places, but such an announcement just killed me. This is some kind of rap.
Is this the norm for Go, or is it just used in a book for kids to make the organization of data clearer?

Answer 1

Use the type keyword.

package main

import "fmt"

type item map[string]string

func main() {
  items := map[string]item{
    "one": {"key": "value"},
  }
  fmt.Println(items)
}
