In C# when we want to have a variable with the same name as a keyword, we can prefix the var with @.
var @type = "Hello, world";
Is there anything similar in Go?

No. You can't redeclare keywords. type
is a keyword.
Though some identifiers are predeclared, they are not keywords, and you can shadow them in a lesser scope. (by the way, can != should)
var b bool = true
func main() {
bool := "shadowed bool ident of type string"
fmt.Println(bool)
}
The pattern I see most commonly for variables named "type" is to use typ
instead.
Note that exported identifiers, e.g. Type
, are valid.
