> No mention of go-bindata which was one of the originals :(

There’s literally an entire section in the appendix dedicated to `go-bindata` and explaining what it generates. It was also first in the list of libraries mentioned.

I also disagree with you entirely. The document does a great job explaining the problems with having this “solved by a library”. I’m excited about this draft design.

> Leave the damn language alone!

This proposal does not change the language. "//go:" comments are comments because they are not part of the language.

It's right there

> One of the earliest and most popular was github.com/jteeuwen/go-bindata and its forks

This isn't a language change, it's a library + tooling one.

go-bindata is mentioned first, before the bullet list.
