# go--
It's Go, but *everything* is exported (like Python).

This was a fun experimental fork of [Go](https://golang.org/), which I found to be extremely productive and user-friendly. I finally decided to discontinue the experiment because `go vet` no longer worked and I didn't want to spend the time to fix it. Also, I found an alternative workaround to solve the original problem that led me to create this fork in the first place.

Here is an example of the augmented abilities of go-- :

```
#!go/bin/go run
//^^^^^^^^^^^^^ "shebang" support enables you to run Go programs as scripts.
// I usually like to say something like "#!/usr/bin/env go run",
// but on Linux a shebang command can only have ONE argument, so
// the kernel tries to run "go run" as a command, which fails.
// (BSD and MacOSX don't have this problem.)
// We *could* create a "go run" binary as part of Go-- to enable this
// in a cross-platform sort of way, but for now I just use this
// relative path. You'll need to run from this directory.

package main

import (
"fmt"
"net/http"
"encoding/json"
"os" // Unused imports now generate Warnings instead of Errors.
)

type T1 struct { n1,n2 int }

func // I'm not saying that this is actually a good way to style your function definitions...
(t T1) // I'm only saying that you should be allowed to do it if you want to.
crazy_func_style
(in1,in2 int)
(out1,out2 int)
{
return 3,4
}

func main() {
fmt.Println("\nWelcome to Go--. Don't worry about those warnings that you see above -- they are a *feature*, not a bug!")
fmt.Println("Go-- gives you some extra abilities, compared to normal Go:\n")

unused:=5
fmt.Println(" * Unused variables and imports now generate Warnings (like you see above) instead of Errors.\n")

http.Header{}.clone(); _=http.response{}.status; http.htmlEscape("We can access everything!")
fmt.Println(" * You can access unexported symbols.\n")

var a,b T1; a.n1,a.n2=8,9
bs,err:=json.Marshal(a); if err!=nil { panic(err) }
err=json.Unmarshal(bs, &b); if err!=nil { panic(err) }
if b.n1!=8 || b.n2!=9 { panic("json was unable to read/set unexported field!") }
fmt.Println(" * encoding/json can un/marshal unexported fields.\n")

if 0>1 { } // Comments here are fine too.
else { fmt.Println(" * More flexible whitespace in 'if' statements; `if cond {...} \\n else {...}` is now a valid syntax.\n") }

three,four:=a.crazy_func_style(1,2); if three!=3 || four!=4 { panic("Incorrect crazy_func_style outputs!") }
fmt.Println(" * More flexible whitespace in function definitions.\n")

fmt.Println(" * You can use a 'shebang' line (#!...) to run your Go-- programs as scripts.\n")

fmt.Println("Remember: with great power comes great responsiblity. Have fun!\n")
}
