DCI in Go?

[stephanos]

Hi there,

I just came across this interesting concept of DCI and my head is spinning. 

I'm wondering: Can it be applied to Go (my current go to - no pun intended - language)? 

And if not: could a Go program still benefit from the concepts of DCI?

Cheers

Not directly, i.e. it would require some preprocessor to properly support DCI.

Yes... DCI concepts can be applied in any languages... similarly how you can still apply OOP concepts when writing assembly. In other words, yes you can, but it could be less readable and have an overhead in the programmers head.

e.g. http://play.golang.org/p/HiDEyAMR7O

You describe the role interface for the context struct... and instead of declaring role methods you would declare them for the context instead.

... and just to clarify... that isn't DCI...

Of course there is another question, whether it will fit the program you are writing...

Thank you so much! 

I'll play around with the concept a bit more and read "Lean Architecture" ...
