FWIW, Go linter suggestion is to to use i++ but i += 2. If you write i += 1, it&#x27;ll suggest you should write i++ instead:<p><pre><code>    main.go:6:2: should replace i += 1 with i++
</code></pre>
That said, if it were removed, I&#x27;d probably be happy because it makes the language a little simpler, but I don&#x27;t mind having it too much either, because it&#x27;s a statement rather than an expression.
