Description-en: Linter for Go source code
Golint differs from gofmt. Gofmt reformats Go source code, whereas golint
prints out style mistakes.
.
Golint differs from govet. Govet is concerned with correctness, whereas golint
is concerned with coding style. Golint is in use at Google, and it seeks to
match the accepted style of the open source Go project.
