"Why? This smacks of religion to me." The dogma of explicit names is preferable to the dogma of legacy. "Only if you can't be arsed to learn the language or tools." I contend that resolving fmt to format increases the complexity in reading and learning Go. Complexity is only tolerable when it provides benefit. The two proposed benefits are token brevity and legacy. I do not believe that preserving the legacy names of commands and packages is a benefit for a "new systems programming language" that is intended to replace the very legacy it is preserving.
