    Whats wrong with "demand-creating" channels? The Go stdlib does it within their network library https://golang.org/src/net/singleflight.go#L67

    I know... But as you said (and I agreed) :) dependencies add complexity...

    I agree with this sentiment and therefore my Response method is also an `io.ReadCloser` (exposing the http.Response.Body io.ReadCloser that Go has to offer).

    I agree with you. I wrote this library because I didn't want to rewrite those functions every time I started on a new project. I put it online because I figured that I would be use…

    I am not trying to do things in the "Python way". I am trying to bring some of the same flexibility I get when using the Python requests library to Go.

    Jerf, 1. Thank you for the feedback As you have already seen, I submitted my library to /r/golang and have gotten a lot of feedback – from which I modified the constructs (original…

    Originally the API was completely asynchronous (every "request" function returned a channel). I got a lot of feedback that I shouldn't do that, so I moved the asynchronous requests…

    I am not very good at naming things and figured to just slap a 'g' on requests => grequests. I figured that I would write the code and decide on a name later...

    Jerf, Thank you for the suggestion. I plan on adding some functionality to make asynchronous APIs friendlier to use (like a `Do` or `Apply` function etc...). But if you don't choos…

    I agree! The README is really sparse right now (I didn't expect so much exposure right). It is just a matter of time before the README has more information.

    Thanks – I wrote this library because I like using requests when writing in Python and wanted something similar when writing in Go.

    This is true, however with creating applications with Django you are protected against most basic attacks. The ORM uses parameterized queries, all unsafe output is automatically es…

    I agree that number 2 doesn't make any sense. I know that code quality is measured by defects in KLOC (1k lines of code) but this isn't a reason. P.S Even though within the article…

    It seems to primarily be an ego issue. This person must of thought that since he/she is so smart any system that isn't understood obviously shouldn't exist.
