9:24p	Testable Examples in Go At the Go Blog, Andrew Gerrand provides a look at the language's approach to combining example code and documentation. "Godoc examples are snippets of Go code that are displayed as package documentation and that are verified by running them as tests. They can also be run by a user visiting the godoc web page for the package and clicking the associated "Run" button. Having executable documentation for a package guarantees that the information will not go out of date as the API changes." Each package's examples are compiled as part of the package test suite; examples can also (optionally) be executed in order to capture failures with the testing framework. (Comment on this)
