I think about something for developers, tool that helps for formatting, or checking some things.

interactive tutorial how to do something: create package, ...
some math tools that works with bigintegers or bigrationals (i can help)
something like steganography library but this is already exists
- github.com/auyer/steganography

This have very few similar projects:

Print the dependency graph of a Go package.

General idea:

try to make some existing libraries better by using more abstraction (more use cases)

Thanks @mathprocessing
Can you give some information about the second one?

Something like this but for go

Main idea: A lot of libraries exist that performs operations only with floats and calculations have unpredictable error. And some libraries can be "moved" to rational domain.

Example of code:

const { r } = require('./my-big-rat');

console.log(0.2 + 0.1); // 0.30000000000000004
const some = r(0.2).add(r(0.1));
console.log(some); // 3/10
console.log(some.toDecimal()); // 0.3

Go had big.Int, big.Rat and big.Float from the beginning.

Morteza • Feb 27 '22
