It seems like none of the other comments here use or are even aware of `go generate`. Go has excellent code generation features [1].

I think parent should be using `stringer` [2] instead.

I'm well aware of Stringer but I don't again think it's a good replacement of having enums built in!

I didn't say anything along those lines, in fact I was commenting generally about this issue that you guys and the other commenters mentioned.

I was just suggesting a solution to the the problem stated.


"We don't want a solution! We want to complain about what we are used to and dont have!"
