Add define command to define common words and terms

Open ScottMansfield opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

Add a simple command to define a word. I was thinking this should be an API somewhere we can hit to get a reasonable answer but realistically it will have to be a curated list.

The terms to be defined would probably just be Go terms, but there could be a fallback to a dictionary API for ESL people. It's probably over-complicating though.

@ScottMansfield are you aware of anything that exists like this today, even in a text form?

This is basically finished, but am thinking it makes sense to get more definitions in before closing this:

Mind contributing some?
