Thanks! Never considered that a 21st century language designed for “power of two bits per word” hardware would keep that feature from the 1970s, so I never looked at that production.
Are there other modern languages that still have that?
The values for x and y should't come from your brain, though (with the exception of 0). They should come from previous index operations like s.indexOf(...) or s.search(regex), etc.

Read the critisim section. There is no reason to think hunter-gathers worked only 4 hours per week, unless you define work so narrowly that the majority of what they did doesn't count even though anyone who has done those tasks knows how much work they are.
What is work? Those religious services were mandatory to set the image of him as a king. The discussion around the jewels was also mandatory - again setting an image.

No, the o/O is optional (hence in square brackets), only the leading zero is required. All of these are valid octal literals in Go:
0600 (zero six zero zero)
0_600 (zero underscore six zero zero)
0o600 (zero lower-case-letter-o six zero zero)
0O600 (zero upper-case-letter-o six zero zero)
