This is great !

Now that we are all used to Scratch for variable manipulation though, I’m wondering if, solely with Go Template (after 1.11) you can just as conviently as with Scratch do the following tasks:

  • Add
  • SetInMap

Scratch will still be very useful (one example is slice appending to create JSON search indexes), but these constructs will be less stupid:

{{ $color := "blue" }}
{{ if .IsHome }}
{{ $color := "orange" }}
{{ end }}

I know, I know! But it hurts each time I have to use it to modify a variable… was referring to those scratches :slight_smile:
