rake routes command on grape gem

At April 2013 I write a small article in Portuguese about rails rake routes command on grape gem. I will translate here:

First create a Rakefile:

desc "API Routes"
task :routes do
  MyProject::API.routes.each do |api|
    method = api.route_method.ljust(10)
    path = api.route_path
    puts "     {method} {path}"
  end
end

Don’t forget change MyProject::API to your class, não run: 

$ rake routes
     GET        /resourceX(.:format)
     GET        /resourceX/:id(.:format)
     POST       /resourceX
     ...

There is a initial doc about dependencies in golang.org called How to Write Go Code, the doc say how works the golang workspace, the basic is when we runs go get the go will download and install the packages into $GOPATH, for more details see cmd/go/get.go. The problems with this approach is about the versions of third-party library, for many times I asked: “My code is OK, now how do I guarantee that the third-party libraries I used will stay with the same API?”, I saw some ways to fix it, but none worked fine, like fork the library...

}

func main() {

    chs[0] = Channel{Id: 1, Title: "First", Description: "Me"}
    chs[1] = Channel{Id: 2, Title: "Second", Description: "You"}

    m := martini.Classic()
    m.Use(render.Renderer())
    m.Get("/api/channels", func(r
