> noCopy is a special marker for types that must not be copied after their first use.
if it looks like a hack, walks like a hack, and quacks like a hack...
This feels like it should ideally be something public in the structs package so anyone can leverage it, not just a specially blessed internal thing for the sync package.
Very good article. Interesting approach working in harmony with `go vet`.
I spoke with Aliaksandr Valialkin (author of noCopy) and he gave me his reasons:

He also gave an answer of what he would change now: https://itnext.io/go-evolves-in-the-wrong-direction-7dfda8a1...
It seems he's not happy anymore with the new direction of Go because they're implementing things from other languages.
