I was thinking the similarly, which is why I thought about the List case. In Java, however you get there, it is just referred to as List
In Go, it is going to be list.List And in a competing implementation it is going to be container.List or whatever package the author came up with. That’s a big difference IMO. I would be totally in favor of import Time,Duration from time added to Go, but I am not sure if the package has a few related types (which it should IMO) it is any better than import . “package” Have the ‘import from’ been proposed and rejected? Still, it requires using ‘stutter’ to be workable - but as you know I’m ok with that :) > On Dec 2, 2018, at 12:40 AM, Ian Denhardt <i...@zenhack.net> wrote: > > Based on your explanation, my original understanding of the semantics > were correct.
