gsl: Go Soylib

gsl provides frequently used functionalities that I use across my projects.

It is my personal learning project.

Since Go is focused on simplicity, some battery-included kind of built-ins are not included in Go (and that's a good thing). This led programmers to manually implement these basic solutions, and this led to a lot of duplicate code, oversighted bugs, etc.

This is where gsl comes in - to standardize and store frequently used generic business logic for soy and non-soy devs alike.

Since 2023, Go 1.21 was released with many "battery-included" standard packages, such as "slices", that does many of the things gsl does, so you might want to explore those packages first before gsl.

Go also has released many official extra packages.

• gsl - basic utilities for everyday use

• soyutils - utilities for soy devs

• http - providing wrapper for Go's http package

• data - basic data structure library. Highly unstable, because this is where I learn to code data structures

• concurrent - simple stupid concurrency helper functions

• sqlquery - interface-based SQL query builder to complement squirrel on features such as INSERT ALL or upserts
