title: Can Golang multiply strings like Python can?
body: <p>Python can multiply strings like so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Python 3.4.3 (default, Mar 26 2015, 22:03:40)
  [GCC 4.9.2] on linux
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  &gt;&gt;&gt; x = 'my new text is this long'
  &gt;&gt;&gt; y = '#' * len(x)
  &gt;&gt;&gt; y
  '########################'
  &gt;&gt;&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can Golang do the equivalent somehow?</p>
