Hi, I know this might seem like little too late to ask this question but I am learning go and I found out that go compiler will error if there are unused imports present in the code.
One of the reasons I found is to eliminate pulling unused code and reducing binary size. This doesn't really look like an answer since if compiler knows something is unused it can simple `not` pull it. Other reason I came around is to help with some bugs that arise from unused imports. This also i feel is not a reason enough to building something in the language itself. Atleast I have not encountered nor have i seen anyone run into bugs due to unused imports. So I wanted to understand the reasoning behind this decision for golang. Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
