Go Naming Conventions: A Practical Guide
red_admiral: Another of mine: don't name a struct after an interface method that it's supposed to implement. If you have a package linearalgebra, then making a custom error type linearalgebra.LinearAlgebraError is too "chatty" but linearalgebra.Error will cause you pain if it implements "Error string()", as it probably should, and you decide to make a linearalgebra.MatrixSingularError that wraps a linearalgebra.Error to "inherit" its methods.In the end, it ended up called linearalgebra.Err .P.S Alex Edwards' "let's go" and "let's go further" are great books to get someone up to date with golang, just keep an eye on features that are newer than the book(s).
nacozarina: this seems anachronistic, written for a human artisan laboring over each naming choice directlya modern approach would be a condensed ruleset passed to the ai model for the code it generates, and it should be straightforward to substitute different rulesets if you have a different taste in parochialisms.
johneth: > this seems anachronistic, written for a human artisan laboring over each naming choice directlySome of us want to write well thought-through code, rather than letting an AI just spew poorly thought-through unmaintainable shit.
piekvorst: You can use this article to guide your choice of rulesets. And you still have to exert some artisan labor to develop any taste.Parochialism here is saying “just use AI” in disguise.
nasretdinov: I like this article — short, accurate (which is somehow not a given these days...) and useful, just like Go language itself.
DauntingPear7: The booms receive regular updates. I got an email about an update to Let’s Go Further on 3/12 for Go 1.26
qezz: I was surprised to see literally invalid names in the "bad" section, e.g. "Cannot start with a digit". Why even presenting this if it's rejected by the compiler?
andersonpico: Talking to AI exclusively has damaged your brain, get a grip you fucking retard
0x696C6961: The example with the dash in it confused me as well.
