This is an application that can make you write script with the Go language.

It is NOT an interpreter but the pure Go. The preprocessor tranforms the script into a Go program, instantly compiles and runs. So it is almost same as the standard Go with the same efficiency.

1. Pure Go language. No need to learn a new script language.
2. Pre-imported packages and pre-defined functions make it easy to code.
3. Seamless integration with the Go project. E.g. can easily load configuration or data file from the Go project.
4. Running efficiency same as Go, much faster than Python.

• Simple

#!/bin/gosl

import "encoding/json"

toJson := func(lines []string) string {
  res, _ := json.Marshal(struct {
    Lines []string `json:"lines"`
  }{
    Lines: lines,
  })
  return string(res)
}

files := BashEval("ls -l %s", "/tmp/")

Println(toJson(Split(files, "\n")))
    

• Go Search is now operating with gosl. So you can find some good examples at: https://github.com/daviddengcn/gcse/tree/master/scripts
• go-diff also provides scripts in gosl: https://github.com/daviddengcn/go-diff/tree/master/scripts

go get github.com/daviddengcn/gosl
go install github.com/daviddengcn/gosl

sudo ln -s $GOPATH/bin/gosl /bin/gosl

If you don't want to do this, the interpreter line can be like this, assuming $GOPATH/bin is in your $PATH:

#!/usr/bin/env gosl

If a script starts with the bash interpreter line: #!/bin/gosl. You can run it like this

chmod a+x example.gs
./example.gs [params...]

Or you can explictly call gosl to run it:

gosl example.gs [params...]

The following packages are pre-imported with ., i.e. you can directly use the methods exported by them. No complain of the compiler if you don't use them.

fmt, os, strings, strconv, math, time, and github.com/daviddengcn/gosl/builtin

More functions are defined in package daviddengcn/gosl/builtin/ (godoc)
