Love how the library takes advantage of Go's generics to expose parametric functional programming. https://github.com/tobyhede/underscore.go/blob/master/src/un... https://github.com/tobyhede/underscore.go/blob/master/src/un...

It's possible to 'go get' this package using the import path "github.com/tobyhede/underscore.go/src". This import path does not follow Go conventions because the last element of the path is not the same as the package name. Otherwise, the path "github.com/tobyhede/underscore.go/src" follows Go conventions.

What is the term for unpythonic in the Go community? This seems to be it. By the way it isn't using gofmt. https://github.com/tobyhede/underscore.go/blob/master/src/un... It shows that the author knows how to code go, but I get the impression that go programmers are more picky about idiomatic code than even python programmers, so if the author wants to get into go development, the author should probably stop that and work on something more idiomatic.
