Goro: A High-Level Machine Learning Library — Last week we linked to Gold, a new reinforcement learning library, now we have a Keras-esque ML library from the same folks.

Running Go in the Browser with WebAssembly and TinyGo — “Writing Go code for the browser is a reality today. But it’s no picnic.” There’s a bit of noodling around to do, but the ultimate result of getting a graphical chess game into the browser without needing a server is undoubtedly cool.

Some Go Quirks — Simon details some issues he’s found in Go that aren’t related to issues that everyone always mentions (generics, etc.) as well as how he worked around them.

GoLand 2020.1 Reaches Beta — GoLand is a popular (commercial) Go IDE from JetBrains and so many neat features are now fully baked in including Go module support and smart code completion. This is the last release before the final that you can try without having a GoLand ‘subscription’.

Why I'm Switching to JavaScript from Go — OK, this one caught me out for a few seconds but it’s an April Fool’s joke (I hope!).. Enjoy it for what it is 😂

Molecule: A Library for Parsing Protobufs Efficiently — Not just efficiently, but with zero-allocations too. Still alpha level but a promising complement to existing packages.

Go-TinyTime: A 'Tiny' Time Object — Uses 4 bytes of memory vs the 24 bytes of a time.Time{}.. a pretty small win, so only think situations where you’re storing a lot of dates at the same time, embedded situations, timezones aren’t important, etc. Go-TinyDate is the same idea but for day-level precision only.

RocketMQ Client Go 2.0: An Apache RocketMQ Client — Supports ‘almost the full features’ of Apache RocketMQ (a distributed messaging and data processing platform), such as pub and sub messages, ACL, and tracing.

Chisel: A Fast TCP Tunnel Over HTTP — A perfect use case for Go when you can get such things down to a single executable.
