Very much so?

Let's put it to the pragmatic challenge. What will be the output of Go's "Jan 2006" and of R's "%B %h %M" format strings? Don't google.

β€œJan 2006” and short month, short month, minutes?

To be clear "Jan 2006" - is a format string. Current date would yield "Dec 2022", obviously.

R example - it's "Long month, hour, decimal minute", so something like "December 15 35"

So you got Go format style right, and alphabet-style wrong. But Go's format is worse, right?
