I've been using Go for several years now and I still need to look up the time packages formatting syntax. I don't think this is something I'll ever retain and remember #golang

I've been doing golang almost exclusively for quite a few years now, and the format still eludes me. I'm confident I'll never memorize it.

+1. Wouldn’t say that I’m proficient in Go, but everything so far feels good - except that really weird syntax. Feels like someone just threw something together, even though I guess they have their reasons.

It's very strange but it also just works. Makes me feel so conflicted 😂 I want to hate so much I just can't fault the fact it works perfectly well for what it does

I agree but I since learnt that the what I would consider odd layout aligns with 1234567 representing month, day, hour, minute, second year, timezone Hardest part is remember that its US and month comes first (bizzare)
