Wikingo

After reading some stuff here and there, playing around with the new shinny languages that seems to be the fashion ones nowadays and thinking so much about “what’s next”, my friend Juanjo friendly pushed me to write something with real specs in… Go.

I’ve been working for years with PHP and - still - Python but lately I’m really tempted to test the smell of compile things again, care about typed variables and think different regarding to data structures, etc…

Long time ago - when studying - I had to learn C and afaik it is imposible to travel in time yet… so in a way, wanted to come back to that days and compare feelings. That’s how Wikingo is born, a minimal personal wiki written in Go:

• Write your stuff in Markdown, wikingo will parse it to HTML with Blackfriday.
• Storage initially is built on top of sqlite with Gorm, but the thing is to be able to provide different storages (would like to add plain files storage too).
• Templates are being rendered via html/template standard library.
• Echo is the HTTP server.

And not much more to say, it’s the tipical side-project that leads you to start learning and practicing a new programming language. If you like to take a look to the repo and contribute in a way, I’ll be so glad!.
