Yeah I'm guessing that is why they went that direction. It really isn't any less enterprisey than anything else and we ended up with stuff like fmt.printf, who would have guessed printf is in something called fmt. Well I guess it stands for format, but is printf primarily a formatting function? It prints and the formatting is a convenience. If we are meant to use it for formatting, it is badly named.
- batista 14y agoNot really. Printf is all about "formatted printing". What you think the "f" at the end stands for and has stood for since C? If anything, its the opposite of what you say, ie the "fmt" package name is not measleading but redundant!
