gg (Generic Generics)

My personal extension of the standard library, with foundational generic types and net/http addons.

List of packages

• assetembed: HTTP handler for efficiently serving embedded assets using the cache-busting pattern
• columnar: efficient JSON marshaling of lists of objects in a columnar format
• jsonmatch: matching of encoded JSON payloads against fixed assertions
• is: binary operations that are expressed in a curried style, e.g. is.LessThan(b)(a) == a < b, for use with Option.IsSomeAnd() etc.
• option: an Option type with strong isolation
• options: additional functions for type Option

Future developments

I may add additional types (e.g. Result, Either or Pair) if:

• there is a compelling usecase for myself, and
• I find an API that is ergonomic in practice (this is the biggest reason why Result might never happen).

How to contribute

This repository accepts contributions as follows:

• For new methods and functions, feel free to submit a PR right away.
• For entirely new types, or when adding library dependencies, please open an issue first to discuss the design.
• Generally, we dislike library dependencies in this house because every dependency means extra work managing dependency upgrades.

Before sending a patch, please ensure that make check does not report any problems, and run make benchmark to check the performance impact of your changes.

To contribute to the primary repository at https://git.xyrillian.de/go-gg, please use git format-patch in the usual manner and send patches to the maintainer’s mail address (which can be found in the copyright notice headers on each file).
