# Introduction
This wiki entry will try to document the rationales behind some important language
decisions besides what's included in the Go FAQ and Effective Go.

### Why method receiver's base type cannot be pointer or interface?
Reference: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/golang-nuts/aqTwXHaSC_Y
Go doesn't allow receiver's base type to be pointer to avoid possible ambiguity.
Suppose you have:
```
type T blah
type P *T
func (t *T) String() string { ... }
func (p P) String() string { ... }
var p P
```
Then the meaning of the expression ` (*p).String() ` is ambiguous, because it can refer to
both ` (*T).String ` and ` P.String `.
Go doesn't allow receiver's base type to be interfaces, because interfaces already have methods. (TODO)
