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.

You can rename imports to whatever you like, but the default name for the package that contains the HTML elements is `html`, not `gocomponents`.
