shortscale-go VS shortscale

Some readers may recognize shortscale from earlier explorations in JavaScript, Rust, and Go.

The shortscale package which I covered in part 1, uses a string Builder. Here is the example from the Builder docs. When you run it, it will output: 3...2...1...ignition.

I found it quite easy to port shortscale-rs to shortscale-go.

[project] name = "shortscale" description = "English conversion from number to string" authors = [{name = "Jürgen Leschner", email = "[email protected]"}] readme = "README.md" license = {file = "LICENSE"} classifiers = ["License :: OSI Approved :: MIT License"] dynamic = ["version"] [project.urls] Home = "https://github.com/jldec/shortscale-py" [project.scripts] shortscale = "shortscale:main" [build-system] requires = ["setuptools>=61.0"] build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta" [tool.setuptools.dynamic] version = {attr = "shortscale.__version__"}

The shortscale-rs library tries to replicate shortscale, a small JavaScript module with just one function which converts numbers to English words.

I published shortscale v1 as CommonJS. For v2 and later the module is only available as ESM. This means that later releases can no longer be loaded using Node.js require().
