What Hacker News says
6 sourcesTake a look at Risor and its pipes capability.
https://github.com/risor-io/risor#quick-example
Stay in the Go ecosystem, but gain pipes, Python-like f-strings, and more.
(I'm the author)
In Scripting with Go (2022)Agreed!
Shameless plug: this is why I built Risor.
https://github.com/risor-io/risor
Keep in the Go ecosystem, retain compatibility with the Go programs you already have, but have a much more concise scripting capability at your disposal.
In Scripting with Go (2022)All good questions. Risor hasn't really fully "launched" yet and its documentation is incomplete at this point.
GCP and Azure to be added in the coming weeks. Here's a related GitHub issue:
https://github.com/risor-io/risor/issues/65
For now, you can browse the available modules in the source tree here:
https://github.com/risor-io/risor/tree/main/modules
Please open an issue on GH if you have other module requests! MySQL is a logical one but I was waiting for someone to ask :-)

If you're not in love with the lisp syntax, you might want to take a look at Risor as well.

sentence := array | strings.join(" ") | strings.to_upper
