Interesting that this snippet:
func (g *Gopher) DumpBinary(w io.Writer) error {
err := binary.Write(w, binary.LittleEndian, int32(len(g.Name)))
if err != nil {
return err
}
_, err = w.Write([]byte(g.Name))
if err != nil {
return err
}
err = binary.Write(w, binary.LittleEndian, g.Age)
if err != nil {
return err
}
return binary.Write(w, binary.LittleEndian, g.FurColor)
}
could be written like this:
func (g *Gopher) DumpBinary(w io.Writer) {
binary.Write(w, binary.LittleEndian, int32(len(g.Name)))
w.Write([]byte(g.Name))
binary.Write(w, binary.LittleEndian, g.Age)
binary.Write(w, binary.LittleEndian, g.FurColor)
}
if the language supported exceptions.
