Stencil implements GoImports formatting which is basically GoFmt with a slightly different import ordering. And yes, it would be useful to standardize this somehow, the way go generate is standardized.

The go vet integration with go test looks interesting. I'm currently using github.com/surullabs/lint [1] to run vet and a few other lint tools as part of go test. It provides a nice increase in productivity for my dev cycle.

Ah right.

I wasn't very clear. A hypothetical conn.Read(w Writer) would call Write on w instead of filling a byte array. Write in turn allocates as needed. WriterTo is a cleaner way of doing this.

Exactly. The sync.Pool will only be useful if net.Conn.Read accepted a Writer instead of []byte.

Hi, I'm the author. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. This library allows you to run a variety of linters as part of go test. It also supports whitelisting false positives. It reduces the need for build scripts,

This is something I definitely agree with. I've sometimes found that taking a few seconds to cache state in a notepad before responding to the interruption helps a lot. Having times of day dedicated to meetings also helps reduce fragme

This is very good advice. I've had trouble with flexibility for as long as I can remember. I've recently started some light exercise again and including yoga for just 5 to 10 min has made an enormous difference.

I've used git subrepo [1] for vendoring and been quite happy with it. Doesn't seem to have the problems of git submodule and it's easier to use than git subtree. [1] https://github.com/ingydotnet/git-subr

Would you be interested in trying our beta [1] once it's ready? We're working on the hypothesis that bad meeting schedules can result in a large drop in productivity, especially for software related jobs. Our current solution is t

Thanks for letting us know. I've updated the quota so the website is up now. EDIT: Changed it to say the website is up, where it said the website will be up shortly.

Slightly shameless self promotion: If you're looking for an Android solution, we're working on TimeFerret, a calendar app that helps you reduce fragmented meeting schedules and track productivity. It's not released yet though

Regarding generics: the tool generates Java bindings from Go code. Since Go doesn't have generics we just generate non-generic bindings.

Yes. The only constraint is that the jar will only work on the architecture it was built on.

by vendakka 10y ago
Yes this is definitely a little limiting. I'm also experimenting with a slightly different binding method, where passing pointers to structs is disallowed (gobind currently allows pointers to structs). All structs are only passed by va

This exists for Python [0]. The reverse is also interesting (Go -> Java/Python/Ruby) and once I get some spare time, I'll play around with using libjvm to load and call jar files from Go. [0] https://github.com&

There is usually a fair bit of prototyping work involved as well. There's also a lot of listening involved, as you can't really design a good system without first talking to the people who are going to use the system and understan

It isn't just the tone that I'd take issue with. The person who reported the bug is also implying that the library author is either negligent or incompetent. I consider this to be an extremely uncharitable attitude. The library au
