Its tooling like this that really makes golang an excellent language to work with. I had missed that rangeint addition to the language but with go fix I'll just get that improvement for free!

Real kudos to the golang team.

There have been many situations where I'd rather use another language, but Go's tooling is so good that I still end up writing it in Go. So hard to beat the build in testing, linting, and incredible compilation.

Absolutely.

The Go team has built such trust with backwards compatibility that improvements like this are exciting, rather than anxiety-inducing.

Compare that with other ecosystems, where APIs are constantly shifting, and everything seems to be @Deprecated or @Experimental.

I just searched for `for` loops with `:=` within and hand-fixed them. I found a few forms of the for loops and where there was a high number, I used regexp.

This tool is way cooler, post-redesign.
