Go? Is it better than rust? It's smaller for sure.

Goali

Not to be confused with the non-existent marsh-soup-eal the Koali.

Install

$ sudo apt install git python-is-python3 golang python3-pip python3-dev
$ git clone git@github.com:jackokring/goali.git
$ cd goali
$ # you may find the sudo for package dependencies in require.sh in a comment
$ # the cpy3 submodule for embedding python
$ # pull and satisfy requirements then go build
$ ./require.sh

Fork

$ # go to repository directory
$ cd goali
$ # use your fork URL
$ git remote set-url origin git@github.com:<username>/goali.git
$ git push origin master
$ # check requirements and git add commit push
$ ./freeze.sh

And then create pull requests if you feel like it.

Under Construction TODO...

Features

  • --pro-file=PROFILE process configuration override with .yaml files.
  • Logging and os.Stderr fallback.
  • os.Stdin/os.Stdout use by - filename.
  • GZip IO wrapping CLI options.
  • Use c, python and/or go to develop possibilities.

Coding Framework Features

  • Debug 'n panic Fatal(err) void/Error(err) bool framework.
  • FilterWriter.Rollback() for a non-commit Close().

Why Go?

So 26 MB instead of a rust 200 MB. Cool for a demo of first build. Much faster code compile too.

go build -ldflags "-w -s" saves 5 MB using the linker optimizer.

Go Modules Used (and Their Indirect Modules)

  • kong - CLI parse
  • fyne - GUI toolkit
  • chi - A kind of node.js express router in go
  • cpy3 - Python 3.11 wrapper git submodule update --init --recursive (CPY3.md)
  • bubbletea - TUI toolkit
  • lipgloss - ANSI sequences
  • bubbles - TUI extended controls
  • kong-yaml - YAML config loader
  • squirrel - SQL statement builder
  • pgx - Postgres connector
  • go-keyring - Secret keyring handler (needs local login keyring via seahorse)
  • godeb - A go version automatic .deb maker (godeb) to install go versions (go install gopkg.in/niemeyer/godeb.v1/cmd/godeb)
  • expr - An expression language
  • govalidator A data format validator

Modules to Find

This place is kind of a brain storming section, stuff in the decision matrix.

Python venv

A python virtual environment was added to the project. Its major directories lib, and bin were added to .gitignore. This may be altered later depending on functional use. A snake_test.ipynb test Jupyter notebook is included.

Go Likes and Dislikes

Likes

  • It's fast enough at compile and doesn't clog my Chromebook.
  • Receivers.
  • No switch break madness fall through.
  • Implicit interface implementations, without declaration and locking out inbuilt type extension.
  • Allows submodules and redirection via replace ... => ... to local a git submodule.
  • Initial capitalization exports.
  • .(type) switch variants. I like the two assignment tuple form.
  • A mindset of default reentrant non-atomicity.
  • Embedded struct types.
  • Ah, chan of Occam. Or should that've been Ockham or Oakham? Nice select for ALT too.
  • The error strategy. Sure I've hacked it (see filerr/filerr.go).
  • Although the idea of tacit tuple receivers excites me, they're not needed.

Dislikes

  • The postfix typing. As from a point of view it has no parse introduction of type information before an identifier. This slightly increases parse complexity and prevents some kind of edit selection of type DropDown inserting an identifier TextBox. It's not a deal breaker, as I've seen / used Pascal and Modula-2 / Oberon before.
  • The weird import "github.com/jackokring/v2/cpy3" and making a new v2 branch along with a module github.com/jackokring/cpy3/v2 just to allow a go get github.com/jackokring/cpy3/v2@v2.0.0 after a following GOPROXY=proxy.golang.org go list -m github.com/jackokring/cpy3/v2@v2.0.0 but only after a git tag v2.0.0 itself after a push followed by a git push origin v2.0.0.
  • Of course the above is made more irritating by node.js inside VSCode spamming the -jMAX option and behaving in its docs like the other processes on the system are the problem. Apparently, the terminal failure to initialize on first go is a feature, and it can only count to 120. It doesn't understand tmux? This is kind of "fixed" using VSCode as the terminal (apart from SIGHUP on close). At least it has split views.
  • The segmentation fault on errors.New(). But, it was new. Likely a pointer to local returned from function and dereferenced.
  • A mild .cache directory half a GB of "junk" from the language server. Perhaps a go tidy for a chop down project global.
  • The import deletion from a ^S when there is an intent from go get and no go build has been issued. I mean yes it does suggest and add, but does it get the preferred named as data back (project or directory wide)?
  • Mild annoyance with anonymous function closure syntax for return to achieve a multi break and not even an ORIC-1 BASIC POP:RETURN. I'm not a fan of the named labels and goto approach. Perhaps a func {} short form without (). I mean I can't suggest a return[level] syntax as []int{x, y, z ...} might mix bad with the parser, being a prefixed typing.

Wonderings

  • Is const (as a type read only intent) inferred for auto VAR arguments (Pascal)?

Things which are Really VSCode Things

  • Eager launching of resource using tools. I'd like an awareness of -j which does not use all my cores, as you know it's just a Debian container also running a browser, with the music, and the reference internet. It should hold off when close to memory 70% or core usage above 50% like give the syntax check a stop for a minute or two. I only deleted a }. I'm sure I'll manage without the extra or fewer items in the "intelli-drop-list".
  • Aren't I lucky I didn't install the C tools recommended -jINFINTE balls. Sure the mc in da house.
  • pylance maybe a slightly bigger boil than it need be.
  • Yes, the environment slows down when altering ANY cgo file.
  • VSCodeLIght with less gfx buffers? Oh, that fancy fast compositor gigabyte depositor. But sorry, "BOINC" is more appropriate. You know "useful" sh*t @ home?
  • OK, as a prototype it kind of works ;D. Tai-Ping? Is he 'ard lady boy?

Things which are Really Sinter Net Things

  • Ah, hot metal. Maybe a proxy JS wall and *.md server? Like for local *.html building? Some user control data sharding? It obviously needs some authority based access protocols for utility. _O_-_ETA_ yeah, like, bean ear lawn?
