Progress for re-write of dataframe-go?

[winston-p]

It's written in the README file that "Once Go 1.18 (Generics) is introduced, the ENTIRE package will be rewritten.", As Go 1.18 has been released for a while, I'm wondering if work has started on re-writing of the entire package. If so, how's the progress?

[pjebs]

I'm still thinking about the best way to rewrite it. Looking for suggestions and help

[winston-p]

I see. Perhaps you could detail some of your thoughts and ideas so far? I'm fairly new to Go but I'm sure others more experienced than me can chime in and/or offer help.

Do you want to have a zoom chat?

Would love to see this working with generics (and possibly be able to import a python pandas dataframe would be excellent). Happy to be involved to help with any thought process as this will be a game changer for Go!

[pjebs]

@amlwwalker Let me know if you want to help. My vision for how to add generics came undone when I learnt that you can't have generic methods: You can have generic functions obviously. But for some reason no generic methods.

@pjebs does this not work? https://stackoverflow.com/a/70668559/1414721

can you give an example of a situation where that wouldn't cover the use case?

[pjebs]

type x struct {

}

func (s *x)[X any, Y any, D any] MyFunc(a X, b Y) D { // not allowed

}

So each struct will need the method available on it, (could that be generated?) but you can then use an interface?

Do you want to discuss over Zoom?

[amlwwalker]

happy to - I'm not very familiar with Go generics so I am probably not so useful to you, but if you want to talk it through with someone happy to be a sounding board. Got to get some stuff done right now, but can plan?

send me an email with your availability: [email protected]
