goose

Goose is a command which adds brackets for golang!

Golang is great! But its syntax doesn't fit me..
I have no idea about changing it. Only to change the way I code it.
Please help me if you are familiar with Golang.
Indentation-sensitive syntax is more concise. Some people like it, some hate it.
But there should always be an alternative solution for the minority.
Hope you like it.

By now it's a simple and fragile script adding brackets by counting.
Installing it with npm, some of you may need to add sudo:

``
npm install -g goose
`

Use command to watch files in the background. It will write .go in the same path.
There shouldn't be any output after running it. Note that I only tested on Linux.
`
goose files.gos file2.gos more-file.gos &
pkill -f goose
`

-o option to specify output directory.

It'll be much more complicated to make it compatible with the whole go syntax.
Below is the parts covered in this script:

* var const import use parentheses
* force case default to use curly brackets
// comments for comments, / cross line */ is also available
* backquote represents cross line strings
* golang use "\t" to indent

This is only a demo in fake code:

`go

package main

import "fmt"

func main()
fmt.Println("Hello, 世界")


var
Stdin = newFile (0, "/dev/stdin")
Stdout = newFile (1, "/dev/stdout")
Stderr = newFile (2, "/dev/stderr")

import
"./file"
"flag"
"fmt"
"os"

const
red = iota // red == 0
blue // blue == 1
green // green == 2


func cat(f *file.File)
const NBUF = 512
var buf [NBUF]byte
for
switch nr, er := f.Read(buf[:]); true
case nr < 0:
fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "cat: error reading from %s: %s\n", f.String(), er.String())
os.Exit(1)
case nr == 0: // EOF
return
case nr > 0:
if nw, ew := file.Stdout.Write(buf[0:nr]); nw != nr
fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "cat: error writing from %s: %s\n", f.String(), ew.String())

Otto.Set("def", 11)
Otto.Run(
console.log("The value of def is " + def)
// The value of def is 1

)

`

Converts to:

`go

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
fmt.Println("Hello, 世界")
}


var (
Stdin = newFile (0, "/dev/stdin")
Stdout = newFile (1, "/dev/stdout")
Stderr = newFile (2, "/dev/stderr")
)

import (
"./file"
"flag"
"fmt"
"os"
)

const (
red = iota // red == 0
blue // blue == 1
green // green == 2
)


func cat(f *file.File) {
const NBUF = 512
var buf [NBUF]byte
for {
switch nr, er := f.Read(buf[:]); true
case nr < 0: {
fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "cat: error reading from %s: %s\n", f.String(), er.String())
os.Exit(1)
}
case nr == 0: // EOF {
return
}
case nr > 0: {
if nw, ew := file.Stdout.Write(buf[0:nr]); nw != nr {
fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "cat: error writing from %s: %s\n", f.String(), ew.String())
}
}
}
}

Otto.Set("def", 11)
Otto.Run(
console.log("The value of def is " + def)
// The value of def is 1

)
