I created gogoprotobuf, but I wanted to create a new code generator for go that does not only work for protocol buffers, but for all go types.
Here is my next generation code generation for go: https://github.com/awalterschulze/goderive goderive parses your go code for functions which are not implemented and then generates these functions for you by deriving their implementations from the parameter types. These functions includes: - recursive functions like GoString and CopyTo - functions for sets like Contains and Union and - functions from functional programming like Filter, Fmap and Compose (monad) - future: concurrent functions like applicative Do (from haxl) Use cases: - More maintainable code - Experience or experiment with what it would be like to use generic functions in Go ... today. - Create user stories for Go 2 in favour of or against generics. - Don't argue about using labels and gotos, instead of just writing a contains function. - Do functional programming in go. Well only partly because mutability is still a thing. - Less typing of: `if err != nil return err`. The compose function implements monadic error handling. - future: less error prone concurrency. Ready for production and experimentation. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
