"(And a type declaration does what you'd expect.)"

Could this be expanded upon for those of us who don't know what to expect from a type declaration?

+1 to this. A tutorial should explain succinctly, and not assume familiarity.

Go is increasingly used by programmers of all experience levels, and is also being taught in college courses. I would submit a PR but don't feel like I could come up with an authoritative explanation.

Could someone improve this please?
