How Go solves date and time formatting (medium.com/simplyianm)

Personally, I don't see the point of the Go formatting at all.

While I get the idea, in practice, it is no different than having to remember formatting tokens a la strftime. You still have to look them up every damn time.

Actually, remembering some arbitrary point in time (the release time of Go 1.0, I believe ?) is even worse then the formatting tokens.
