Why no Go code style?

[xorcare]

Hello, are you planning to add Golang style guide?

There's no a whole lot on top of the Go language requirements that can be added. Golang already dictates pretty much everything. go fmt even does the formatting.

maybe we should add a link/sentence for go that just says "use go fmt" ?

Maybe, but why then such things appear? https://github.com/uber-go/guide

Or for example:

https://golang.org/doc/effective_go.html https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/CodeReviewComments

It seems to me that not everything is as simple as it seems ...

1. Much of that content isn't style related. A style guide is not the same as a guide on effective coding or common patterns.
2. The internet is a vast place. The fact that something exists on it somewhere doesn't have much meaning.
