Most likely they originally used an array, and changed it to a slice later. Since that line still compiled, it didn’t get changed. Or else they are just confused.
Anyway, I can’t think of any reason to use [:] on a slice either. Andy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
