Planning for `go-rat`

README.md

This is a simple planning file for go-rat. I'm using a public gist to make the whole progress transparent for anyone who interests this project.

Here is a very short introduction to go-rat: This is a pre-compiler project for go to support generic, generator, method/operator overloading at compile time.

Project URL: https://github.com/go-rat

WARNING: This is quite a big project for me. I don't have any dedicated time nor commitment on it. I may take quite a long time get all things done. Anyway, I still want to have a done. This public gist is a way to push myself keep walking.
