It's just code with comments what code is doing. Can we call them notes?

It's very clearly a lot more than just commented code. They are examples/snippets of common patterns.

It ignores some historical bad design decisions, the worst of them being having null in the language, the famous one billion dollar mistake. And well, no support for functional/immutable data structures is something I dislike. My squad did a micro-service in Go at work and was not pleasant as we expected.

To answer to your comment: code with comments can be notes, yes.

It has Go code with comments which are notes to the author. just like the title of this post.

would be useful to somebody, seems like a good idea to me.

Rust is a better choice
