Constant struct in Go

Question

Why can't I create constant struct?

const FEED_TO_INSERT = quzx.RssFeed{ 0,                     "",                     "desc",                     "www.some-site.com",                     "upd_url",                     "img_title",                     "img_url",                     0,                     0,                     0,                     0,                     0,                     100,                     "alt_name",                     1,                     1,                     1,                     "test",                     100,                     100,                     0 } 

.\rss_test.go:32: const initializer quzx.RssFeed literal is not a constant

Answer 1

Because Go does not support struct constants (emphasis mine)

There are boolean constants, rune constants, integer constants, floating-point constants, complex constants, and string constants. Rune, integer, floating-point, and complex constants are collectively called numeric constants.
