There +are many times when the nature of JavaScript, TypeScript, or Deno itself +justifies diverging from Go, but if possible we want to leverage the energy that +went into building Go. We generally welcome direct ports of Go's code. + +Please ensure the copyright headers cite the code's origin. + Follow the [style guide](https://deno.land/style_guide.html).
