This is a simple way of creating generic versions of packages that I've been prototyping. The main idea is summarised below - The generic unit is a package. - Specialise a package by substituting one type for another. - Import statements define type substitutions. example/num/float64/float32 is example/num with float64 replaced by float32. - Generate specialised versions of the packages in a vendor directory. - Use the closest vendor directory. If none exist create one. - Perform type substitutions with a tool that scans files for these import statements. - Use the tool as a format-on-save command in the editor, or run it with go generate. - The tool uses type inference to automatically add missing imports with type substitutions The idea of using import statements to create generic directives is borrowed from Gonerics <https://github.com/bouk/gonerics>. The link above has more details and examples as well as some pros and cons of this approach. A prototype implementation can be found at https://github.com/sridharv/stencil. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. Sridhar -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
