Rule for anonymous functions

[rudiservo]

Is there a way to put out an error or warn for anonymous functions?

Thanks

There is no existing linters inside golangci-lint about this topic, because this is not related to bug or a style.

There is no project related to detectors.
Everything can be the subject of a detector, so depends on too many user related constraints.

But you can create your own rule with ruleguard if you needed.

Why do you want to detect anonymous functions?

Honestly, I don't like them because they are abused in the worst possible way.

Many times in other projects of other languages there is a profound use of anonymous functions that are verbatim copies, then when there is a bug you are playing hide and seek or find and replace games that I personally don't like and is a fast way to have some blow up in your face.

IMO specially for juniors and javascript/React folks it promotes lack of basic code organization.

and thanks btw

In Go, anonymous functions are rarely used, mainly because this is verbose.
Take care to not propagate your rules from a language to another.

I know, but there are a lot of projects trying to sell Go has an alternative to a javascript solution, i.e. fiber looks a lot like expressjs and caters to that.

I actually don't care that much about rules from other languages, I am not that picky, Go default rules are fine, I just wanted something to prevent anonymous function slop in a project where JS devs might come in, that is all.
