I’ve found the enumer [0] library does the job of generating usable helpers without too much pain or any obvious downsides.
Still, the lack of enums and enum/sum types remains by far my biggest gripe about Go.

Just use const blocks, iota and enumer and be happy.
Does Go not have enums in the sense that I can use them as a type?

Define your type as an alias on int and values using iota as others have said, then autogenerate the rest of the functionality from other languages with https://github.com/dmarkham/enumer

We tried out struct-based enums like this for a while and they're definitely better than the vanilla version, but they still have the problem of "how do you iterate over all the values?" and "how do you create an enum value from a string?". We chanced upon https://github.com/dmarkham/enumer a few months ago and have been very happy so far.
