At first glance, that question makes sense; however, fmt doesn't cover all code format issues. Ex from the post: > Line length > There is no fixed line length for Go source code. If a line feels too long, it should be refactored instead of broken. If it is already as short as it is practical for it to be, the line should be allowed to remain long. > Do not split a line: > Before an indentation change (e.g., function declaration, conditional) >To make a long string (e.g., a URL) fit into multiple shorter lines fmt doesn't force arbitrarily short lines in lieu of readability (looking at you python + pep8; I can't recall how many lines of code were a few characters long and pep8 formatting made the multiple lines a mess to visually parse). The Google Team decided that it was important to not break up perfectly readable lines and gave guidance on how to do that.
