I asked for this a while back ("drop underscore between digits as in Ada")
and the answer was no. I try to ask just once.This was shut down without much discussion at https://github.com/golang/go/issues/42. I agree that it's a nice feature. By the way, though, one nice aspect of Go is that because of how untyped constants work you can write integers using scientific notation: for i := 0; i < 10e6; i++ { // ... } This is exactly the same as if you had written 10000000. (I don't think you'd want to do this in C or Java because, although it would "work", 10e6 is a floating point number and so i would be converted to a double for comparison. I am not an expert in those languages, though, so someone can correct if I'm wrong here.)
