(Go Lang) Go by Example Notes (GBEN) Emacs Setup

Go by Example is Mark McGranaghan‘s “hands-on introduction to Go using annotated example programs”. Under the license I’m going to

• Convert all of the examples to Org-Mode Literate Programming documents
• Add, remove and modify them making it my personal notebook
• Add the tag GBEN to track them

How to setup Emacs and Org-Mode for GBEN:

• Set up Emacs to your liking
• Set up Go, Required Components, ob-go and copy as much of my Go config as you like. For example it includes a Hydra for compiling and more
• Download this post from GitHub to see the configuration of the source block
  • If you want full source code you can
    • Expand the source block with org-babel-expand-src-block for your inspection
    • I tried expanding the source block into an example and didn’t figure it out. When I do I will update these examples. However, it is probably OK if I don’t because I have the source code.
• Set Org-Mode version 9 or greater

  • Here is the base configuration

    <<<ECM Information>>>
    As Of: 2017-08-08T20-51-57
    Org-Version: 9.0.9
    Org-Git-Version:release_9.0.9-737-g7e46af
    Emacs-Version: GNU Emacs 25.2.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin15.6.0, Carbon Version 157 AppKit 1404.47)
     of 2017-07-28
    Noweb wrap start and stop delimeters: ’«’ and ’»’
    org-babel-default-header-args:
    
    ((:session . "none")
     (:results . "replace")
     (:exports . "code")
     (:cache . "no")
     (:noweb . "no")
     (:hlines . "no")
     (:tangle . "no"))
    

  • Here is the configuration for the source blocks however I will be using output for nearly all of the examples despite my default configuration being scalar!
