I created Ofelia, being getting Vixie crond inside of a container is a nightmare (at least when I started the project, 1 year ago), with Ofelia is simply tasks.
As explained in the README, is a character from Mortadelo and Filemon[1], she is a office manager and I though that was a good simile to a job scheduler, obviously the intent is not make fun of the fat that she is fat.
Yep is a very similar approach, I'm not familiar with gitgo, but we started to work on go-git before gitgo was published, so this is the reason why we have our own project instead of collaborating on a existing one.
the main goal of CandyJS is allow to other developers build extendable programs without the requirement of compile.
A good example could be a chan bot in Go with plugins written on JS. (like https://github.com/djosephsen/lazlo) but with CandyJS the effort to make this will be minimal, since you can use the same structures on JS and Go.
About the performance, CandyJS javascript is much slower than pure Go, since the reflection is very expensive.
the method and field names are converted to lowerCamelCase to be compliant with the JS coding style. Let's see if this transformation becomes a headache.
BTW this behaviour is undocumented, I will fix that.
