Neugram – Scripting in Go

Re:Neugram – Scripting in Go by nanodano on Friday November 03, 2017 @08:56PM (#15623250)

You can already "go run program.go" from anywhere, even outside of a project structure, which is the same result as running an interpreted script.

It's a novel idea but I don't really see it taking off. Is there really that much benefit to having a shebang at the top of the file versus executing "go run" and is it really worth having a REPL for a fairly verbose language? I certainly don't see myself wishing for a Java REPL, and I don't particular see myself reaching for a Go REPL either.

The goal is to add other features that are also useful for scripting. The big one I've worked on so far is syntax for the os/exec package: https://github.com/neugram/ng/blob/master/docs/shell.md#a-sh...

Another thing I'm interested in is operator overloading, for compact/pleasant matrix/table types.

Y'know, if you happened to accidentally create nice bindings for using TensorFlow in the process... :)
