log: uses weird date format (probably US, or iranian) #6095

Your issue isn't with Go, but with the log package's date format.
Per the comment at the top of the log package docs:
// Bits or'ed together to control what's printed. There is no control over the
// order they appear (the order listed here) or the format they present (as
// described in the comments). A colon appears after these items:
// 2009/01/23 01:23:23.123123 /a/b/c/d.go:23: message
Considering that there aren't 23 months, it's obviously yyyy/mm/dd. So it's ISO 8601,
but with slashes instead of hyphens. Sorry, this is probably just "Unfortunate". We
can't change it now. But it's not a weird US or Europe time format with years at the
end. It sorts lexicographically.
Status changed to Unfortunate. |

What steps will reproduce the problem? If possible, include a link to a program on play.golang.org. 1. import "log" 2. log.Println("Bye.") http://play.golang.org/p/5LKl63qun5 What is the expected output? I would expect to see a timestamp printed in a culture neutral, unambigous, and standard date format (preferably the standard ISO 8601 format YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ, with fractional seconds, or its local time counterpart). What do you see instead? Instead something like 2013/08/08 23:00:00 Bye. is printed. Which compiler are you using (5g, 6g, 8g, gccgo)? n.n. Which operating system are you using? Windows 7 Which version are you using? (run 'go version') go version go1.1 windows/amd64 Please provide any additional information below.
