Go packages helping to win by K.O. when fighting cross-cutting concerns.

• Apply low allocation coding practices;
• use data oriented programming whenever appropriate;
• introduce as little runtime dependencies as possible;
• provide a productive, pleasant and low churn developer experience,
• have predictable performance;
• provide production grade error reporting.

go get github.com/stergiotis/boxer

Alpha, incomplete test coverage, unstable, API may still change heavily.

leeway

A code-driven entity-attribute-value data model.

imzero

A CGO-free immediate mode GUI library based on DearImGui. Client applications are available in imzero_client_cpp.

fffi

Frame oriented Foreign Function Interface

curlier

Go code mimicking cUrl.

eb

Structured error building.

eh

Error handling.

e2e

End-to-end.

ea

Means input-output (german abbreviation to distinguish from core packages).

fec

Forward error correction.

inst

Instance (similar to self, this).

vcs

Version control system (e.g. git, svn, hg, perforce).

Boxer uses chained file extension (e.g. file.docx.pdf.txt):

`.out.<ext>.`

Generated source code checked in repository e.g. `myfile.out.go`

`.gen.<ext>.`

Source code generated in regular build process (i.e. part of binary distribution but not source distribution): e.g. `myfile.gen.go`

`.idl.go`

A (Framed) Foreign Function Interface (FFI) Interface Defintion Language (IDL) file. A subset of go language.

The path of files gets more specific with depth.

Example: ./fec/ea/golay24 fec means Forward-Error-Correction. A well known technical term (see e.g. Wikipedia). ea means Eingabe-Ausgabe (engl. Input-Output). German is used to not confuse the package with go stdlib's io. golay24 is the name of a very specific algorithm of forward error correction.

Ideally the package name (innermost folder) is discriminative enough to facilitate autocompletion in IDEs.

Currently, no third-party contributions are accepted.
