copygen VS insect

Copygen is a type-based code generator for the Go programming language. Copygen allows developers to generate type-to-type copy functions out-of-the-box without reflection (why?), but it can also be used to generate code. As an example, disgo is a performant, secure, and thread-safe Go Discord API Wrapper that uses Copygen with dasgo to achieve feature completion.

An alternative is to use a reflection based struct copier library or a codegen struct copier library

Disgo is the only Go API Wrapper using a maintainable approach to become feature complete. Disgo is the only Go API Wrapper to provide OAuth2 flows. Disgo is the only wrapper to define API definitions (objects, requests, commands) as structs, allowing for usage of the Discord Producer API without requiring knowledge of an additional API Wrapper Consumer API.

Copygen allows developers to define types, structs, and more in its setup.go file and has no issues copying them to the output; except for comments. The Go AST makes it "very difficult to update the AST and retain correct comment place (from 2017)" and is not likely to change any time soon. As a result, Copygen sometimes generates free-floating comments (i.e multi.go). Copygen's comments are handled in its Parser. Feel free to use any necessary libraries or rewriting of the comment-parsing mechanism to fix this issue.

For the record I use insect.

https://github.com/sharkdp/insect seems to be somewhat similar, but it's mostly for physical units. However, it's the only opensource one that is embeddable.

Insect: https://github.com/sharkdp/insect

It is a bit slow but has decent features, including some physical units support.

I set up Tilda (or another Guake equivalent; I tried a bunch of them and can’t remember on which I settled in the end) to run it automatically when a terminal is opened, when pressing Scroll Lock. It’s quite neat: when I need to do a quick calculation, I just hit Scroll Lock, which spawns a drop down terminal with the focus; then type whatever I want to calculate; then control-D to dismiss the drop down terminal and I am back in whatever I was doing without moving either hand off the keyboard.

I do more or less the same thing on my Mac with Alfred.

I'm in the same boat and will pay for Kagi, though I have a different interaction with a search engine and thought you might like the counterpoint. Notably, I don't use Google for most of what you described:

Translation: I use DeepL instead (google is doing poorly on Asian languages)

Conversion: not having much need for imperial but I use this for all unit conversion (though usually directly in my terminal): https://insect.sh/

Wikipedia: if I type Wikipedia+something my browser automatically use the wiki engine (chrome can do that too)

Word definition: on OSX I long press on the trackpad and the definition pops up (across languages, translation too for single words)

Lyrics: Spotify show them now! (admittedly that's a recent feature)
