gg

Sorry, this is part of my effort of learning Go and is also a WIP. So I am not yet comfortable sharing the code. I can share the libraries I used: - go html/template for the front-end - github.com/twpayne/go-gpx for parsing the gps tracks - github.com/fogleman/gg for drawing the images - github.com/dsoprea/go-exif/ for reading the exif of the photos, so I can show where are they taken on the route map

The author explicitly discusses requirements: > You don't need to download any dependencies such as plantUML or Graphviz, which is what most of the tools out there require and what was also my motivation to start this project. go-uml is using a 2D graphics engine written 100% in Go https://github.com/fogleman/gg This is not a solution for these requirements.

Like: - `go generate` for embedding resources into the executable. So intuitive and beautiful. - Strict curating. It's the kind of language that things don't get into unless they're the right solution. - Performance! Python was my favorite language before Go got sufficiently mature. It was refreshing to have that much efficiency coming from Python. - `if err != nil {`, dammit! - Imports referring to the location where the code can be got. `import "github.com/fogleman/gg"` for instance. - `go fmt`. Nuff said. - Tabs as the standard indentation character. - `fallthrough` - `init()` Dislike: - nil. I wish nil had a smller role in the language. It's an agreed best practice in Go that a zero value should be a ready to use thing. I feel like that would be easier to do (and more true of the core language) if the zero value of a slice/map was an

Glad to see more graphics work being done in Go. This is built on `pinhole`, which is built on `gg`, a 2D rendering library that I wrote. How many layers deep can we get? :) https://github.com/fogleman/gg
