This is fine, in moderation! I'm objecting to the linter tool itself being configurable.

  Golint is the worst precisely because it isn’t configurable, and some of the things it looks for are idiotic. “should replace i += 1 with i++” is probably the worst advice I have ever received.

    I can see Go's point here though. Unlike C-style languages where i++ is an expression, in Go it's only a statement, it has no value, which eliminates some footgun opportunities. It's a halfway house to a language like Swift or Rust where none of the assignments have value. So, in a context where you don't want a value, arguably i++ is a better choice by eliminating a footgun. I don't hate it.

    If a linter is configurable it is no longer a linter.
