Yes, the fact that the author knows it’s a syntax error yet still made that bizarre comment about gofmt not enforcing the style indicates that he doesn’t realize gofmt is not for fixing syntax errors (in fact, it refuses to format anything when there’s a syntax error and simply errors out, so my guess is the author only used gofmt as a formatting action in an editor like VS Code, and assumed no code change on shift+option+f means gofmt doesn’t enforce it). And that’s exactly what gp’s complaining about — demonstrated lack of understanding of gofmt.
