lang

Package lang provides some helpful language features excluded from the Go language.

Getting Started

The lang package can be added to a Go project with go get.

go get github.com/shoenig/lang@latest

import "github.com/shoenig/lang"

Examples

Maybe

Use lang.Maybe as the ternary-operator for Go.

passing := lang.Maybe[string](check, "ok", "fail")

Pairs

Use lang.Pair to conveniently associate two types together.

p := lang.Pair[string, int]{A: "bob", B: 42}
