It's source code. If we can't read it without privacy extensions, it doesn't work.

Even more: as reading on a machine that has the Go toolchain installed, this is source code that is already available on the local filesystem.

The same source code is also part of the Go distribution ($GOROOT/src). The Google source browser isn't the only place it's available.

Yes, you can find the documentation in other places and that is what I usually do, but it sucks because this is the official documentation of the programming language.

Having those links to quickly take a look at the implementation is what made this documentation so good.

1. I'm not always on a computer that has the go distribution

2. In that case, why allow reading the code un the browser ?
