Yeah right, when men still where real men and programmed their own device
drivers...
Or take a car, give me parts & tools and I am ready to give you a ride in
say a year?

No nobody would. But trivial things add up and then people run away or

I have learnt to never not listen to your (potential) users.
If a new project comes on board of the Go train, people already have to
wrap their heads around new (admittedly interesting) concepts, they have to
accept "err != nil" spaghetti, distinction between Array and Slices, make
and new, and so on.
Personally I got really interested when I died around your standard library
which I really like and it seems to give us exactly what we need, not too
much, not too little.

It just looks awkward:
contains := false
for _, n := range excluded_numbers {
if byte(m) == n {
contains = true
}
}
if !contains {

Seriously? 2017?
