What’s this?
gen is a code-generation tool for Go. It’s intended to offer generics-like functionality on your types. Out of the box, it offers offers LINQ/underscore-inspired methods.
It also offers third-party, runtime extensibility via typewriters.
###Contributing
There are three big parts of gen.
####gen
This repository. The gen package is primarily the command-line interface. Most of the work is done by the typewriter package, and individual typewriters.
####typewriter
The typewriter package is where most of the parsing, type evaluation and code generation architecture lives.
####typewriters
Typewriters are where templates and logic live for generating code. Here’s set, which will make a lovely Set container for your type. Here’s slice, which provides the built-in LINQ-like functionality.
Third-party typewriters are added easily by the end user. You publish them as Go packages for import. [Learn more].
We’d love to see typewriter packages for things like strongly-typed JSON serialization, Queues, Pools or other containers. Anything “of T” is a candidate for a typewriter.
