Go's time package lets me do this:
time.Now().Format("2 January 2006")
which returns something like 10 November 2009.
Can I get something like 10th November 2009 using time or any standard Go package?
The time.Format documentation doesn't mention it, and I'd like to avoid doing it manually if possible.
There's no support for that in the built-in time library. You'll either need to implement the functionality yourself, using an algorithm as described in the linked Java question, or use a third-party library which can do it for you, such as humanize: https://godoc.org/github.com/dustin/go-humanize#Ordinal.
