To draw_down: your comments are showing up as dead, As for assert in Go... couldn't you just make a function that takes a Boolean and panics?

• everdev 7y ago
  You could, but then when you get an error, you'll see the file and line number of the assert function rather than the code that actually produced the error.
  • bbatha 7y ago
    The runtime package allows you to grab the current trace, you can just pop the last frame off and print that.
    • everdev 7y ago
      True. The only other challenge is that in production software you rarely want to call panic()
      • IanS5 7y ago
        As another comment mentioned you can just use build tags to make assert a no-op in release builds
• rabidrat 7y ago
  Also, there is no way to eliminate the assert clause in a high-performance (release) build.
