elem-go: A Type-Safe Way to Create and Manipulate HTML Elements — Easily create HTML elements with Go code and work with elements, attributes and properties in a type-safe way. v0.25.0 introduces a new StyleManager feature for managing CSS styles programatically too – check out the examples.

go-size-analyzer: Analyze the Size of Dependencies in Compiled Go Binaries — If analyzing your Makefiles (above) isn’t tempting enough, how about analyzing your compiled Go binaries? See where all of those bytes are going.

💎 Gemfast: A Drop-In 'Gem' Server for Ruby Developers — A new self-hosted Rubygems (Ruby’s package management system) server, written in Go for easier deployment, that lets Rubyists mirror and cache gems from official registries, as well as serve up their own private gems.

Gnet 2.5: High-Perf, Non-Blocking, Event-Loop Networking Library — “Built from scratch by exploiting epoll and kqueue and it can achieve much higher performance with lower memory consumption than Go net in many specific scenarios.”

How Dolt Uses GitHub Actions to Create Performance-Guided Optimization Builds — A look behind the scenes at Dolt's build process and how their team has introduced profile-guided optimization (PGO) into theie pipeline. There’s some complexity, but ready-to-deploy performance-tuned binaries are a powerful reward.

From Zero to Production: Go's Journey at Google — The author worked as an SRE at Google for nine years and shares some of the story of how he saw Go grow and be adopted there over its formative years. Some interesting background that I’ve not seen mentioned elsewhere.

What’s New in Go 1.22: cmp.Or — cmp.Or (the ‘hidden gem of 1.22’, you might say) is a function that returns the first of the passed-in values that’s not the type’s zero value – a handy way to shorten certain conditional assignments. The last in a series covering the author’s own contributions to 1.22.

How Render Enforces Access Controls with Go Generics — Render is a modern hosting and deployment platform with a role system for users and admins to have specified, defined privileges. Their engineers wanted to get compile-time guarantees in their Go codebase to reduce the chance of dangerous flaws and loopholes getting into their role system.

makefile-graph: Turn a Makefile into a Graph — Usable as both a library and CLI tool, this parses makefiles and generates graphs representing the relationships between the various targets (then rendered by Graphviz's dot).

📊 Results of the 2024 H1 Go Developer Survey — Developer sentiment and trust remain high, and the AI-centered survey revealed that Gophers think Go is a good language for this fresh wave of use cases. There’s a lot more room for new libraries and tools to make it easier, however, with Go equivalents of popular Python libraries being particularly desired.

WorkOS: Enterprise-Grade Auth for Modern SaaS Apps — WorkOS supports both the foundational auth and complex enterprise features like SSO. It provides flexible and easy-to-use APIs, helping companies like Vercel, Loom, and Webflow become Enterprise Ready. Best of all, WorkOS User Management supports up to 1 million MAUs for free.

go-mysql-server: A Storage Agnostic MySQL-Compatible Relational Database — A pure Go SQL engine and server that speaks the MySQL protocol and SQL dialect. You get an in-memory storage system included, but can then implement your own backends for storage or querying different data sources.

trdsql: Tool to Execute SQL Queries Upon Text-Based Data — A CLI tool that can execute SQL queries (in Postgres or MySQL syntax) on CSV, LTSV, JSON, YAML and TBLN files. It can also be used as a library within Go apps.

Redka: Redis Re-Implemented with SQLite — It’s not often you see a Go project get so many GitHub stars in just a few days, but after the latest Redis licensing debacle, there’s an appetite for alternative approaches.

Go Performance from Version 1.0 to 1.22 — Two years ago we enjoyed the author’s Go performance analysis from Go 1.2 to 1.18. This is an update now taking things all the way through from Go 1.0 to today’s 1.22.
