Is this valid syntax for initializing a struct in Go?
id := struct { name, ltype, value }
The fields are all strings. The actual error message I get is "syntax error: unexpected }". Maybe you cant initialize anonymous structs this way ?

No type inference for you!
name := "a"
ltype := "b"
value := "c"
id := struct { name, ltype, value string } { name, ltype, value }

And there was I thinking I could save some typing - may as well go back to using
new() and init all fields by hand!

You don't need to name the fields in the data part, and you only need one
string definition which can make it shorter if you want id := struct {name, ltype, value string}{name, ltype, value}Eno
Its a shame - that struct is embedded inside another struct in my code, so initializing this way is tedious. Are the inference rules documented anywhere?
You can also initialize the value inline.
id := struct{ name, ltype, value string }{"a", "b", "c"}
