README

denude

denude is a Go analyzer and rewriter that simplifies your Go code.

It is inspired by a number of linters and rules found in golangci-lint, and the desire to have those rules which are safe to apply automatically, done automatically.

To be included in denude, a rule must meet the following criteria:

• The alternative is functionally identical to its original
• The alternative has the same or better performance charactaristics as the original
• The alternative is unambiguously as easy or easier to read than the original
