Especially, when you allow for locale specific spellings and formatting of the date components.. The Go approach is easier to understand if you read/speak English but suggests you can replace exact literals (e.g., "2006") with what seems like an equivalent literal (e.g., "2009") rather than the opaque POSIX `%Y`. This is the reason I am not a fan of the Go approach compared to the POSIX strftime approach (see https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/strftime.html) -- Kurtis Rader Caretaker of the exceptional canines Junior and Hank -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
