I know how to set up a godoc site locally, but the problem then is not Google searchable... harder to share via a single link about a historic library function design... So I prefer if anyone knows a 3rd party godoc service online for a longer period? And question to the ones behind the official golang.org/doc/.. , Is there a reason intentionally not doing so? for the archived docs for older versions? It's unbelievable not providing any information online about historic versions, all because relatively young age? I know the Go designer's goal for 1.x at least is to be backward compatible for all historic versions down to 1.0? So when every newer 1.x version release, it's kind of calling everyone to upgrade, But if suppose there's a Go 1.x version market share research, I don't believe the current latest 1.9 has taken all 100% of share? The Go1.8 may still have 20% and Go1.6 10% ? I don't have the exact numbers, but The archived docs for an older version still must have some value; In the longer future, when Go 2 released, it can't take 100% market share at day1, right? it might take some years to convince every Go user to upgrade, Would you have an archived godoc for the last 1.x ? To any 3rd party Go related site owners, would you like to setup such archives service? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
