qod

See the Documentation

Package qod should NOT be used in a serious software engineering environment. qod stands for Quick and Dirty bahaha I just realized I got the acronym wrong. It's fine. It's on brand. Quick AND Dirty.

The context is I noticed that Go is my favorite language, but when a task gets too complicated for a shell pipeline or awk or something, I turn to Python. Why not Go?

In Python, I'd frequently write something like:

for line in sys.stdin:
  vals = map(int, line.split())

Here that is in Go:

package main

import (
  "bufio"
  "fmt"
  "os"
  "strconv"
  "strings"
)

func main() {
  scanner := bufio.NewScanner(os.Stdin)
  for scanner.Scan() {
    var vals []int64
    for _, str := range strings.Fields(scanner.Text()) {
      val, err := strconv.ParseInt(str, 10, 64)
      if err != nil {
        panic(err)
      }
      vals = append(vals, val)
    }
  }
  if err := scanner.Err(); err != nil {
    panic(err)
  }
}

Ugh! Considering I don't care about this throwaway shell pipeline replacement, I'm clearly fine with it blowing up if something's wrong, and wow this was too much.

qod allows me to write the same type of thing in Go. Here is a reimplementation of the Python code above using qod:

package main

import (
  "os"
  "strings"

  "github.com/jtolds/qod"
)

func main() {
  for line := range qod.Lines(os.Stdin) {
    vals := qod.Int64Slice(strings.Fields(line))
  }
}

Better! I'm more likely to use Go now for little scripts!

Reminder: don't use this for anything real. Most of the stuff in here panics at the sight of any errors. That's obviously Bad and Wrong and you should actually handle your errors. Set up your build system's linter to reject anything that imports github.com/jtolds/qod please. If you have a build system for what you're doing at all this isn't for you. If you have some one-off tab-delimited data you need to process real quick like I seem to ALL THE TIME then okay.
