Lets say you write in bash like this: if [[ $OPTION =~ = ]] then declare "BOCKER_${OPTION/=*/}=${OPTION/*=/}" else declare "BOCKER_${OPTION}=

Lets say you write in bash like this: if [[ $OPTION =~ = ]] then declare "BOCKER_${OPTION/=*/}=${OPTION/*=/}" else declare "BOCKER_${OPTION}=x" fi Going from here, if you rewrite this in golang you'd probably improve readability. But the readability has not been "thrown out of the window" yet, like in this case: [[ $OPTION =~ = ]] && declare "BOCKER_${OPTION/=*/}=${OPTION/*=/}" || declare "BOCKER_${OPTION}=x"
