Thanks ian for the quick reply. As far as other languages are concerned, Like Java, stringBuilder.reverse() seems a logical place to put this feature. Because string builder gives us facility to generate a string, overcoming the limitation of string immutability. What if I want to generate a string in reverse order?
Yeah, agree that its not difficult to implement. I need it quite often, maybe because of the kind of project am working on currently, but can't advocate that every go programmer needs them frequently. Anyways, thanks for the clarification.
