20:30-21:00 Making Code Write Itself: How To Build Code Generation Tools in Go / Bouke van der Bijl

As a long-time user of Go, I am a huge fan of how its built-in templating system is powerful and easy-to-use. However, it’s far from perfect: it can be slow and failure-prone because it interprets templates at runtime. A better solution would be a statically compiled template that combines the benefits of writing code by hand, while also being simple and fast to use.

Rather than creating yet another templating system in Go (did we need another one?) I took this as a learning opportunity to write a static compiler for Go templates. The whole process took me about a two weeks, and I ended up creating Statictemplate, a tool that performs static compilation to improve performance, while still supporting all of the Go templating features.

In this talk, I want to show how to use Statictemplate and I also want to share my journey writing it, in hopes of encouraging others into crafting their own tools in Go. Some of the things I’ve learned include:

* How to write a code generator, while ensuring type safety.
* How to statically analyze go types.
* How much faster static code can be compared to dynamically interpreted.
* How to call private functions (don’t tell anyone!).

21:00-end Networking
