I like this command: code.google.com/p/go.tools/cmd/stringer
BTW, we're already using the internal package convention for the charm store,
and it seems to work well (apart from the ever present temptation to import
the internal packages from outside!)

Good point Gustavo; generating code was all doable before Go v1.4, go
generate just bakes it into the development process.
Can either of you go into some detail as to why you don't like code
generation?
To start off, a thought experiment: if I were to generate a new Set type
for my Foo struct, ho
I also couldn't help but read through the release notes of Go 1.4 last
night.
I agree with Gustavo that we should avoid code generation unless
absolutely necessary. I have a strong feeling that it won't be
necessary given how far we have come without it.
I did like the internal packages, however
Thanks for the write up Katherine, and I agree these are all very nice
improvements.
On this list, the one I find slightly less exciting is "go generate". This
is essentially a standard way to run external processing tools, which might
already be done before anyway via standard practices. For exam

Well, I intentionally didn't specify generics. Yes, that is a use-case. But
from what I gather, go generate is intended to be used once when first
writing code, not every time you compile.
So it's more like a
Thanks for writing this up, Katherine!

Hey All,
I just got done reading through the Go v1.4 release-notes[1], and these are
some high-level thoughts about what pieces may be of interest to Juju
development. This is certainly not comprehensive, but I thought you all
might be interested. Happy release day :)
