Something like

type A struct {

Root string const

Name string

}

Where Root is a constant for this struct which never changes .

No, sorry. I assume you want something like a field Root that is set
at initialization and never changed thereafter. Go doesn't support
anything like that. It would mean that the type had no useful zero
value (

If you're curious about why this doesn't exist, take a look at this ticket:

No, but you can do better thing! You can declare a method which returns a constant. E.g.:

func (a A) GetRoot()(string) {

return "MYroot"

}

Hope this helps, mate!
