A strftime() for Go
Sep. 10th, 2012 02:27 pmRecently I complained about the "Go" programming language's time.Format(), which is there because someone found strftime() unappealing.
I find time.Format() unappealing, so I started to write a strftime(). It does all the conversion specifiers, but does not support any modifiers. These should be gracefully ignored, though. Locales are also not supported.
If anyone wants to use it as a starting point to add modifiers and locale support, or just use it as it is, you are welcome. License is BSD-like.
I'd also appreciate any advice how to make it better, more Go-like, more idiomatic.
