Fernando Spock Project
This is a command line application to translate Star Trek character names from English to Klingon and find out its species.
Architecture decisions
This application is built in GoLang and I explain why
- I love to learn new tricks (it's my first Go experience)
- Go is from Google and Google rocks
- Go is so Hipster
- Go is perfect for command line apps
- Go is fun
Business rules assumptions
-
English characters not considered in Klingon alphabet (both lower and uppercase)
- c
- f
- g
- k
- x
- z
-
Namesakes
- First occurrence will be considered (eg. Kellin)
