color

Syntax highlighting for streamed terminal Go text.

cat file.go | color

or

cat $(find . -type f -name *.go) | color | less -r

I started off wanting to write a very limited in scope Go app with the above functionality for my first Go application only to find that it's pretty much all been done by https://github.com/koron/beni. Except that beni only works on files passed as arguments not the STDIN.

Clearly my contribution is not a big deal and I'll probably just do a quick PR on beni to get this functionality added. But, it did give me a chance to work on something Go related. Hopefully next time I'll think of an idea that hasn't already been done by someone else.
