Learning Functional Programming in Go

The main.go file

Let's have a look at the contents of main.go:

package mainimport (   "crypto/tls"   "flag"   "fmt"   "io/ioutil"   "log"   "net/http"   "net/url"   "os"   "os/signal"   "time"   "easy_metrics"   . "decorator")const  (   host = "127.0.0.1"   protocol = "http://")var (   serverUrl string   proxyUrl string)

This is what the imports looked like before using the init script and its aliases (and glide): import ( . . .     "time"     "github.com/l3x/fp-in-go/chapter5/02_decorator/easy_metrics"     . "github.com/l3x/fp-in-go/chapter5/02_decorator" ) I never liked long repository paths in my imports. I suppose it's time to give this technique a name. Let's call it Dot Init script (. init).

We define a host as a constant because we will always run this example code ...
