The original code was autogenerated, which is why the style was very terse and verbose. It's still like that: https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/tree/master/mod

The original code was autogenerated, which is why the style was very terse and verbose. It's still like that: https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/tree/master/models/apis https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/tree/master/models/apis The fact that it feels very Java-esque comes from two things, in my mind: - the AWS API has Java-esque RPC calls - the request/response paradigm is easier for code generation Personally, I don't like the style of the SDK, but at least it's maintained by AWS; you can always wrap the parts you use to get a nicer interface.

What do you mean by "terse and verbose"?
- cdelsolar 11y ago
  Haha, those words mean the exact opposite.

  Ugh I failed at english ='( I mean, "terse" in the sense that it is very mechanical, raw, not very elegant. Verbose in that you need to type a lot of characters, or read a lot of instructions, to understand the meaning.

    raw instead of terse? I am not native in English too. anyone can think of a better word.

      Maybe "inelegant" or "rough".

What was used to auto generate the code?
- rifung 11y ago
  Unless things have changed drastically, they use internal tools to generate the code. I used to work on one of the SDK teams.

    They have a makefile target called generate https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/blob/v1.0.0/Makefile#L31 https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/blob/v1.0.0/Makefile#L31 Reading the code, it looks like the most important lines are around here: https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/blob/v1.0.0/private/model/api/api.go#L192 https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/blob/v1.0.0/private/model/...
