I've just found out that to declare a date format in go, instead of using some sensible format, you have to format this date yourself:
Mon Jan 2 15:04:05 MST 2006
so instead of "hh:mm yyyy-mm-dd", your format specifier has to be "15:04 2006-01-02" with that exact date, otherwise it won't work
sorry, /what/?
@Vierkantor free fuzzy clocks! I think my personal highlight from the documentation is where it says that it's easy to remember if you just think of "01/02 03:04:05PM '06 -0700", as if anyone has ever written a date like that in their lives
@coesor absolutely deranged.
i also love how the documentation overview implies you can just go
t.format("A few hours before the kickoff at the 2006 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl foorball game")and get sensible output
