Looks great! I've been using github.com/kelseyhightower/envconfig which seems to do the same task?

Quite similar, but it doesn't look to have any way of setting defaults and the vars will always require the prefix.

But, as I said, they are quite similar. I just wanted to play a little bit with the reflect package :)

Fair enough! Good job :)

I tend to prefer solutions that integrates with the standard flags, such as https://github.com/rakyll/globalconf

Looks like a good idea as well, I started this project after a small discussion at work and here we want ENV vars everywhere.

I wrote a similar package taking ideas from rails configuration: https://bitbucket.org/utils/config It provides different settings for different environments with templating support to use env vars.

Wow, adding templating there is a good idea :)

I usually did that with puppet in my previous job to create different confs per server/stage.

Yeah, it kind of evolved nicely. I was trying to get rails like configuration variables similar to RAILS_ENV and it nicely fell into place :)

I wonder how Configura the company feels about the name.

Not sure why it should matter to them. This is a small package for Go, they are a company.

Configura is a Spanish word that means "you, set it up" (more or less :), and the RAE (Royal Spanish Academy) didn't complain yet :D

Just kidding, but seriously, I don't think that there is any problem with the name, I also thought that I was so original and there are some other packages with the exact same name.
