já de saída

Primeiro há que deixar claro que "Desde o início" é absolutamente correto e que "from the beginning" foi uma distração igual àquelas que muitos de nós já sofreram (muitas vezes, né?).

Mas este "from the get-go" é bem informal, beirando a gíria, razão porque acredito que "já de saída" estaria melhor como tradução
