Does Go have anything similar to Python's multiline strings:

line 3"""

If not, what is the preferred way of writing strings spanning multiple lines?

According to the language specification you can use a raw string literal, where the string is delimited by backticks instead of double quotes.

`line 1
line 2
line 3`
