**Carlisia Thompson:** So I was gonna say about the functest one. Did somebody keep that on purpose? |
**Erik St. Martin:** No. What's the functest one? |
**Matt Holt:** I put that in there. I thought that was pretty cool, too. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Yeah, talk about it. |
**Matt Holt:** So it makes it easier -- well, less mundane to write table during test. This is by Brad Fitzpatrick. I haven't actually used it yet, but looking at it, my mouth is watering. I write table tests all the time. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yes, so do I. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** I agree, my mouth is watering too, because I'd love table tests. This makes it a little bit easier, just cleaner. I'm wondering, so if it's from Brad, it's sanctioned, we can use it? Like, no worries about having that extra dependency? |
**Matt Holt:** Well, I mean I guess you weight the cost... But for little projects it seems like a really great thing at least. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** That's neat. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** It looks pretty neat. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** I haven't seen this yet, it's very sleek. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Now I'm gonna wanna play with this. Can we like pause the show for a few minutes so I can mess around with this? |
**Carlisia Thompson:** I'm lucky I have a bunch of new tests to write, so I'm gonna probably using it. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** So here's one I stumbled across on Twitter the other day, and I'm gonna butcher this poor guy's name, but github.com/matiasinsaurralde/go-dotnet. It is a Go wrapper for .NET that lets you do basically see Go-ish things using .NET assemblies. The first thing I thought was, you know, "Put down the cra... |
**Erik St. Martin:** \[52:23\] So this is so that you can call out to the .NET runtime from your Go code? |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Correct. And it may work the other direction. I haven't tested it, so I don't know, but it may work the other direction, too - calling to Go from .NET; I don't know. |
**Erik St. Martin:** It is interesting, though. I mean it's similar to kind of Cgo. We'd prefer not to write Cgo, but it does afford us the ability to operate with code that already exists and is well vetted and performant. So yeah, this will be interesting. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** So one thing that came to mind immediately for me is that it's relatively simple to write user interfaces in the .NET world. You can write some pretty decent GUI screens in .NET and having a Go wrapper to that might make it a little less painful to do a GUI application if you really needed one in th... |
**Matt Holt:** Brian, that's black magic right there. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, I'm telling ya. I'm not willing to try it myself personally, but I would love it if somebody else did and let me know how that worked. |
**Matt Holt:** That would be an interesting proof of concept. |
**Erik St. Martin:** And just kind of like a cross-platform GUI library to have native interfaces, so if you could interface with .NET here to kind of do a native Windows interface and GTK or QT or something on the Linux side. I've never written a GUI application for Mac, is it Cocoa, is that what the library is undern... |
**Matt Holt:** I think so, yeah. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, you have to use interface builder, it's ugly. |
**Erik St. Martin:** I don't know what's under the covers there. I know I use Xcode to do so. What the library is underneath, I have no clue. And then outside of projects and news, Carlisia is now a convert to Vim, right? |
**Brian Ketelsen:** This is a big deal. |
**Erik St. Martin:** It is. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** So let me clarify. I have been using Vim for the last few years and I've used just straight up Vim for a few months, but then I went back to an IDE and used Vim inside an IDE, and that was Atom. And I broke up with Atom last night - and that's not Adam from the Changelog, it's Atom \[laughs\]. I ... |
**Erik St. Martin:** Not the robot from Real Steel? |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Also not that. \[laughter\] So basically, last night I broke up my Vim... I already was running Jessie's dot-vimrc. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Jessie Frazelle? |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Yes, I was running her dot-vimrc file and I went through Fatih's tutorial notes. He gave a tutorial at GopherCon. I was not there, but he wrote it out, it's all spelled out, it's beautiful. So I didn't even finish the whole thing, I just skipped around for the things I wanted the most and I'm gon... |
So basically, he tells you exactly what to do. Jessie already had a bunch of the shortcuts that he was suggesting to do, so I was like, "Okay, cool, I'm just cruising through this", and now I've got vim-go going, I'm not going to go back to an IDE, and I'm very happy. And if you are interested, I suggest you take the j... |
**Erik St. Martin:** \[56:13\] I'd actually like to see those notes, because I feel I've been using Vim for entirely too long. I'm kind of like stuck in my ways and I feel like maybe I'm antiquated. I should look at Vim with fresh eyes again and change what plugins and things I use. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** You definitely should. I always do that, every once in a while I go back and look. And that reminds me of another good point, that he's always releasing things. He's always batch releasing a bunch of Go features. I've talked to him this morning, and basically this is the rundown. He has a changel... |
If you check the repo, you see that something new has been released, you refresh your master and then you run the Go install binary, because some of the stuff he does is related to Go tools, and some of the stuff is related to Vim. So you just update all of those things and you've got fresh new shiny features. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Freshies. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** And I also discovered that the right place to go talk about Vim-go is the Vim channel on GopherSlack. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Awesome, welcome to the fold. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** \[laughs\] Thank you. |
**Erik St. Martin:** You can't leave now, otherwise Brian and I are gonna be upset. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** No, it's pretty awesome. And I like it because everything is there, everything is released as one package, so there is no conflict. Because for me, I'm gonna work today and I can't have surprises, I can't update my IDE and have, "Oh, this thing is now conflicting and I don't have my shiny feature... |
So with vim, it's gonna be consistent. The way Vim-go is released is as a unit, so that doesn't happen. And now the advantage is I'm now working with Vagrant box on my machine, I can just upload that there and there I have my Vim, my IDEs, it's beautiful... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Happiness. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Happiness. |
**Erik St. Martin:** See, now we have our free software Friday, but I feel we've all given Vim and Vim-go love. Like does that count? |
**Brian Ketelsen:** It counts as some, for sure. |
**Erik St. Martin:** I think we should still list some. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Alright, so if you're not familiar with our Free Software Friday plan, it's just our way of taking a moment to say thanks to all of the people who released software packages in the open source world that we use, that we love. They don't have to be Go-related at all; not often are they all Go. |
Today, I'm choosing Python, which is a language that I never personally use, but it powers two-thirds of everything I do. I don't know how many times I look up at the terminal window at the title and see that it's actually Python behind Neovim or its Python behind some other thing that's running, like Supervisord. So t... |
