  A rate limiting package for Go to handle distributed workloads

Nice project, but for other readers, please don't use this in production. There is almost no error handling whatsoever going on: for example, see https://github.com/0verread/goralim/blob/main/goralim.go#L36. What happens if the redis calls in this function fail? If the Get here https://github.com/0verread/goralim/blob/main/goralim.go#L58 fails, for example if your redis connection dies, the code will always return false.

The code in the README will also result in a panic if the connection to the redis client fails.

Consider using https://github.com/go-redis/redis_rate (which implements leaky bucket/GCRA) or https://github.com/ulule/limiter (which implements a much more basic rate limiting algorithm, but has good middleware support) instead.
