Example of poor things going viral: https://github.com/golang-standards/project-layout is at least highly questionable, yet it has collected a huge amount of stars, and they are still raising at a high rate. Look at https://github.com/golang-standards/project-layout/issues/117 for all the problems with it. The author @kcqon hid this thread by closing it. Apparently, more stars is most important to him.

A much better (and more decently named) proposal is https://github.com/lone-wolf-operator/go-policy.

people that use Hugo, and ideally Sourcehut builds for their website, how can I go about setting up a mailing list for my blog with the lists.sr.ht service? i understand that people (@ploum) have used python and SMTP to set this up but is there a simpler way to go about it?

interesting detail i just noticed buried in the flood of news from the #googlecloud next event:
their load balancer now supports plugins, which are little #wasm scripts (#rust, #golang, c++) that can do stuff to the request (logging, headers, etc)

For REST API's written in Go , you should take a quick look at github.com/go-fuego/fuego. Getting an OpenAPI-Spec & a SwaggerUI without any extra effort, is a huge win!

proposal: spec: allow type parameters in methods

The fact go can't do this cripples the use of ( https://github.com/samber/mo ) mo.Map

So, I'm currently learning Go from the ground up, doing the old way of reading a book (on paper, mind you) and typing code into my beloveth Emacs.

I'm deliberately doing it this way, going slow, reading, thinking and typing - a bit. I'm not Googling and more importantly, I'm neither using Copilot, ChatGPT nor any other AI tool.

I realised yesterday, that if I _where_ using AI, I would learn coding Go with AI assistance. Meaning, I would learn how to program Go, *granted* I have access to AI.

Now that I'm learning it without any AI tool, I learn to code and, evenly importantly, *think* in Go.

Once I'm proficient and can run, *then* I may choose to add AI to speed up the parts I find repetitive or help me brainstorm solutions. But not before.

Go Zero Values

https://yoric.github.io/post/go-nil-values/

Discussions: https://discu.eu/q/https://yoric.github.io/post/go-nil-values/

I moved here a week ago: Time for a proper #introduction.

Hello, I’m Ernesto, an electrical engineer turned software developer from Bolivia.

I was introduced to #Linux in 1994 and have been using it daily since then.

I’m currently helping create and maintain a free/open source radio automation suite for community radios: https://aura.radio

I like to use and learn from free/open source software and I enjoy writing software in #Python and #Golang but I also like to coffee and pizza.

Realizing I (a #Python lover) should probably give #Golang another stab sometime after bouncing off it last decade

I don't especially /want/ to – I’ve enjoyed my #Rust tinkering much more than I did that brief Go tinker session, so Rust is my preferred non-Python language – but Go’s still so highly represented in the ops space

Via osmosis I gather its packaging situation improved somewhat, but if-err-not-equal-nil is still rampant?

Also all of this stuff: https://fasterthanli.me/articles/lies-we-tell-ourselves-to-keep-using-golang
