It is exaclty this attitude what makes the datetime format in Golang extremely difficult to use. I always have to double check my formatting. I like the basic idea very much, but its logic only works for 'local' Americans. The reference time used in the layouts is the specific time: Mon Jan 2 15:04:05 MST 2006 which is Unix time 1136239445. Since MST is GMT-0700, the reference time can be thought of as 01/02 03:04:05PM '06 -0700` Golang was not meant to become a big international language from the start? Just a fun internal Google project ;-)
