hopwatch uses go-spew Dump and Dumpf
Both are good and seem useful.

go-toml-config does not work and the documentation is wrong. Persistently get ‘panic: myconfig.conf is not a valid TOML file. See https://github.com/mojombo/toml’ even when it’s the test file from https://github.com/mojombo/toml
package main
import "github.com/stvp/go-toml-config"
var (
title= config.String("title", "Unknown")
name = config.String("owner.name", "")
git = config.String("owner.GitHub", "")
bio = config.String("owner.bio", "")
enabled = config.Bool("owner.enabled", false)
connection_max = config.Int("owner.connection_max", 0)
)
func main() {
if err := config.Parse("myconfig.conf"); err != nil {
panic(err)
}
}
viper over a TOML file gives
go run searchgear.go
(viper.UnsupportedConfigError) Unsupported Config Type “”
(string) “”
adding filename extension to be the language ie myconfig.conf becomes myconfig.toml has an effect but still empty variables
IT SEEMS WE HAVE A WINNER!

package main

)
var parser toml.Parser
func main() {
doc := parser.ParseFile("myconfig.toml")
spew.Dump(doc.GetString("owner.name"))
}
go run searchgear.go
