When I first started using Go I bemoaned the lack of true inheritance and classes. Now I love it.

I thought it didn't have classes in name only, isn't a struct with methods basically a class?

a class can be inherited from, a struct can not.

Depends on what you mean by “basically a class”. If you mean inheritance, overriding, and more generally class/inheritance based polymorphism, no, it does not. Those require dynamic dispatch, which Go does not have (for concrete types, which is what we’re talking about here).
