I can imagine the type people looking to actually use this. They are using go for whatever reason but complain about it constantly because they want it to be Ruby on Rails.

I’m all over using gomock to test my packages in isolation. I’ll just continue to do that with generated mocks instead of trying to monkeypatch a language that isn’t intended for that.

I’m curious about your motivation for writing this. Did it start out as something legitimate and morphed into a joke when you wanted to see how far you can push it? Or were you taking the piss the whole time?
