Spelling of sql.Result.LastInsertId

<p>I was wondering, I just came across this and somehow I never noticed that ID is written as Id in this function.</p> <p><a href="https://godoc.org/database/sql#Result">https://godoc.org/database/sql#Result</a></p> <p>Is there a reason for this, or just never fixed because of backwards compatability or something?</p> <p>I&#39;m asking because go lint is pretty strict on how to write ID, URL, and terms like that :).</p> <hr/>**评论：**<br/><br/>dominikh: <pre><p>Almost all of the Go standard library predates golint, and not all of it follows the naming guidelines we abide by nowadays, as they developed over time. Id vs ID is one such case where the guidelines changed.</p> <p>Go&#39;s compatibility guarantee makes it impossible to rename that function now, so the earliest it could be changed would be Go 2.0.</p></pre>hr01: <pre><p>I know ID is the correct spelling, but I&#39;ve never understood why. Mister is Mr and not MR.</p></pre>element131: <pre><p>Because any abbreviation where you say the individual letters is supposed to be capitalized (e.g. ATM, BBC, PBS, CMS)</p></pre>danredux: <pre><p>If acronyms are all upper and shortened words are camel as usual, identification would be Id, not ID.</p></pre>i_misread_titles: <pre><p>it&#39;s an abbreviation, not an acronym (right? :) I have started lowercasing the d for all my Id fields... you could just name them Identity or Identifier. I lose my breath from holding shift through the two keystrokes... don&#39;t judge ;)</p></pre>om0tho: <pre><p>I wonder if a lot of people use golint. I thought about it for a little bit, then I read &#34;Do not treat its output as a gold standard. … In short, this tool is not, and will never be, trustworthy enough for its suggestions to be enforced automatically…&#34; from the project README.md and then I was dissuaded.</p></pre>jerf: <pre><blockquote> <p>then I was dissuaded</p> </blockquote> <p>Don&#39;t be. It&#39;s a fantastic tool for anything other than one-off code. It&#39;s just telling you that you need to use your brain, not that you can&#39;t trust it. All of my public projects are golint-clean, and it was nothing but improvement. I have some internal projects where I violate some of the rules, by choice.</p></pre>jwcrux: <pre><p>That would appear to be a bug, however I don&#39;t know when it would be fixed at this point since it would break a lot of code that already uses the function.</p></pre>SerialMiller: <pre><p>Yeah, assumed the same. Thought there might be more to it though :).</p></pre>anacrolix: <pre><p>Id is not an acronym. ID has slipped into common use. Both are correct according to the dictionary.</p></pre>
