  • Question: Custom argument parsing with flag ?
    4 projects | /r/golang | 21 Aug 2022
    Nice to find that golang has this tool (I found only argparse adaptation https://github.com/akamensky/argparse). For me, as newcomer, flag is soooo basic. The reason why I still stick with it, because standard approach is more important for my use case, which is one layer upper than single language best parser. I am doing the same thing for various languages to make argument parsing be as easy as configuration change (if you are curious see https://github.com/ashlander/protoargs). That does not exclude potential Kong usage as an alternative backend at some point
