Hey everyone! I just released v1.0.0 of gomponents last week. It's an HTML component builder in pure Go, with a DSL-like HTML syntax. It's been 4 years in the making, and makes it really easy to build HTML in your web apps.

I saw the dot imports and thought “What a neat feature! I wonder why nobody uses it.” Then I googled it and saw a million articles saying how they should be avoided and removed from the language because they make code more difficult to understand.

Typical gophers, can’t accept that there’s a time and place for everything and need to have a hard rule to use that applies to every single situation. Imagine that code, but with gomponents.Ul, gomponents.Li, gomponents.Div everywhere.

It's the same with the Ginkgo testing library: "After the package books_test declaration we import the ginkgo and gomega packages into the test's top-level namespace by performing a . dot-import. Since Ginkgo and Gomega are DSLs this makes the tests more natural to read."
