A collection of terrible things in I felt like writing in Go
Most of the things in this repository use genny to generate code, so to really play with
any of this horrible stuff, you should run
go get github.com/cheekybits/genny
go install github.com/cheekybits/genny
go get github.com/johnmurray/bastard-goFor more details on Genny and how the generation works and options to use with the command, head on over
to their GitHub page. For examples, see the examples folder.
Fair Warning: This code is just me playing around with what it would look like if Go has some sort of generic programming capability and/or me just feeling like writing something ridiculous in Go. You likely shouldn't use any of this in production code. If you really want to, feel free but I make absolutely no promises that any of this code is correct or safe.
// TODO: write docs
While writing a scheduler for Futures, I needed a way to distribute work amongst workers for my scheduling code and wanted to use a ring-buffer because it sounded like it would be fun to write. What follows was a non-thread-safe ring-buffer that is poorly tested. Either way the API is rather simple. Create a new one with a fixed size, push and pop, or empty the buffer.
The ring-buffer uses genny to generate templates which allow it to work very similar to a version
using generics. To use in your own projects:
cd $YOUR_PROJECT
mkdir buffer// Generate for as many types as you like. Simply including a comma-delimited list for `Type` will
// cause genny to generate multiple templates.
//
//go:generate genny -in=$GOPATH/src/github.com/johnmurray/bastard-go/coll/ringbuffer.go.tmp -out=buffer/ringbuffer.go gen "Type=int,string,float"This is a right-bias Either type that uses genny to generate templates which allow it to work
very vimilar to a version using generics. However, this is probably the clearest example (in this project) where
generics would greatly simplify the boilerplate of code-generation as it is a multi-type container that has the
ability to map to other Either types with different underlying "generic" types. Creating a many-to-many mapping
that makes generation tricky and cumbersome.
To use in your own projects:
cd $YOUR_PROJECT
mkdir either// Generate for as many types as you like. Simply including a comma-delimited list for
// `TypeA` and `TypeB` will cause genny to generate multiple templates. Note that providing
// multiple for both inputs will create every possible combination.
//
//go:generate genny -in=$GOPATH/src/github.com/johnmurray/bastard-go/either/either_base.go.tmp -out=either/either_base.go gen "TypeA=int,string,bool TypeB=int,string,bool"
// Another command will generate the "composition" functions which allow you to convert
// from one type to another // when using Map, FlatMap, etc. This is also necessary for
// generating same-type conversions. Such as:
// eitherStringOrInt.MapRightToInt(func (i int) int { return i * 2 })
//
// Note that to avoid generating duplicate functions (due to so many input types and overlapping
// righ/left combinations) the `ToTypeA` and `ToTypeB` should be done one at a time, using the same
// value for each:
//
//go:generate genny -in=$GOPATH/src/github.com/johnmurray/bastard-go/either/either_compose.go.tmp -out=either/either_compose_1.go gen "FromTypeA=int,string,bool FromTypeB=int,string,bool ToTypeA=int ToTypeB=int"
//go:generate genny -in=$GOPATH/src/github.com/johnmurray/bastard-go/either/either_compose.go.tmp -out=either/either_compose_2.go gen "FromTypeA=int,string,bool FromTypeB=int,string,bool ToTypeA=string ToTypeB=string"
//go:generate genny -in=$GOPATH/src/github.com/johnmurray/bastard-go/either/either_compose.go.tmp -out=either/either_compose_3.go gen "FromTypeA=int,string,bool FromTypeB=int,string,bool ToTypeA=bool ToTypeB=bool"This is a Scala/Haskell like Some/Maybe object that uses genny to generate templates which
allow it to work very similar to a version using generics. To use in your own projects:
cd $YOUR_PROJECT
mkdir maybe// Generate for as many types as you like. Simply including a comma-delimited list for
// `Type` will cause genny to generate multiple templates.
//
//go:generate genny -in=$GOPATH/src/github.com/johnmurray/bastard-go/maybe/maybe_base.go.tmp -out=maybe/maybe_base.go gen "Type=int,string,bool"
// Another command will generate the "composition" functions which allow you to convert
// from one type to another // when using Map, FlatMap, etc. This is also necessary for
// generating same-type conversions. Such as:
// IntMaybe.MapToInt(func (i int) int { return i * 2 })
//
// Note that by providing multiple input types, all permutations will be generated.
//
//go:generate genny -in=$GOPATH/src/github.com/johnmurray/bastard-go/maybe/maybe_compose.go.tmp -out=maybe/maybe_compose.go gen "FromType=int,string,bool ToType=int,string,bool"This is a Scala-like Try object that uses genny to generate templates which allow it to
work very similar to the Scala version with composition functions (Map, FlatMap, Recover, etc). To use
in your own projects:
cd $YOUR_PROJECT
mkdir try// Generate for as many types as you like. Simply including a comma-delimited list for
// `Type` will cause genny to generate multiple templates.

//
// Note that by providing multiple input types, all permutations will be generated.
