I think I have found a small problem with the Specs page from the blog.

https://golang.org/ref/spec#Representability

What did you expect to see?

'a' rune rune is an alias for int32, and 97 is in the set of 32-bit integers
97 byte 97 is in the set of byte values

What did you see instead?

'a' byte 97 is in the set of byte values
97 rune rune is an alias for int32, and 97 is in the set of 32-bit integers

The table is saying that 'a' can be represented by a byte, not that its default representation has byte type.
