    Also, since the format is very specific, you can’t use any tools to navigate it, except text search. Tools like goast-viewer can help with this, but capabilities are limited.

  • 9 Golang Name Conventions Gophers should follow!

    Actually in the early days of Go, devs were stuck to camalCase/PascalCase on variable naming. But VScode Go plugin managed by Microsoft at that time , and they suggested ID over id/ID, XML over xml/ Xml. Because VScode is free, it attached many users and using uppercase for abbreviations/ initialisms became a standard. Andhttps://github.com/golang/lint/issues/124 finalized it. But , still I think it is a wrong decision.

    As for linting, go vet and [staticcheck](staticcheck.io) are the recommended tools, according to the now deprecated golint repository.

    about Initialisms; Personally I still prefer simple initial conventions (lowerCamelCase, UpperCamelCase, UPPERCASE) Go followed before VSCODE/Microsoft suggested ID or Id (ex. https://github.com/golang/lint/issues/124). Following one pattern everywhere is the best. In Go, a name is exported if it begins with a capital letter. ex URL; if any unexported var/const start with "URL", what do you do?
