#stringutil Ruby's string manipulation magic brought to Golang

Why?

"What was the biggest surprise you encountered rolling out Go?" I knew the answer instantly: Although we expected C++ programmers to see Go as an alternative, instead most Go programmers come from languages like Python and Ruby. Robert Pike, Less is exponentially more

stringutil makes all the string manipulation methods from ruby accessible in go.

##Install

 go get https://github.com/wallclockbuilder/stringutil

##Import

 import "stringutil" "https://github.com/wallclockbuilder/stringutil"

Example

I want to remove the trailing space from the end of a string.

This is what Go forces me to do:

strings.TrimRightFunc(s, unicode.IsSpace)

This is the simple version from Ruby:

stringutil.Rstrip(s)

I prefer the Ruby version.

##Use

package main
import "github.com/wallclockbuilder/stringutil"

func main() {
  stringutil.Capitalize("abcde")          #=> "ABCDE"
  stringutil.Reverse("stressed")          #=> "desserts"
  stringutil.Swapcase("Hello")            #=> "hELLO"
}
