    I don’t do Go (thankfully). But that description reminded me of “A False Midnight”, which is a Python story from almost 12 years ago (time flies).

    The fact that these two stories concern Python and Go, the two supposedly easy and simple languages, are good examples of why such descriptors were always intellectual smell.

      Makes me wonder what were legitimate uses datetime authors mentioned existed for if time: meaning if time is not None and also not a midnight in UTC. I would kinda understand for non UTC, and maybe there are uses for date libraries’ internals, but other than thet it seems too arbitrary
