go

• experimental support: almost everything except for error handling and several methods
• generator api translator tests
• target version: Go 1.2+

Go equivalents used for pseudo types and concepts:

Pseudo	Go
List[T]	slice[T]
Dictionary[K, V]	map[K]V
Set[T]	map[bool]struct{}
Tuple[T1, T2..]	a custom struct
Array[T, count]	T[count]
Int	int
Float	float
String	string
for-loops	for
classes	structs
methods	struct methods

error handling

error handling is currently not supported for go.

it's going to be supported in v0.3 and almost everything is ready for that: there's a sketchup of the GoErrorHandlingMiddleware that's going to transform exception-based code to return-errors-based code it will probably reuse some of the leaking handlers logic, because for e.g.

def process_pair(a, b):
    return process(parse_int(a), parse_float(b)).result

where parse_x throws ParseError and process throws WatError we'll need to inject error handling code in the surrounding block:

func ProcessPair(a string, b string) Result {
    parsed_a, err := parse_int(a)
    if err {
        return nil, err
    }
    parsed_b, err := parse_float(b)
    if err {
        return nil, err
    }
    processed, err := process(parsed_a, parsed_b)
    if err {
    	return nil, err
    }
    return processed.result
}

not really beautiful, but hey, we're not letting those evil errors go away /s
