Go Weekly

The Go Developer Survey 2023 Q1 Results — Nearly 6,000 gophers took part in the latest developer survey, and now we have the results. Key takeaways include:

  • 92% of respondents are satisfied using Go.
  • Error handling is now folks' biggest pain point.
  • Keeping dependencies up to date (if maintaining a module) is a challenge.
  • VS Code remains the editor of choice, with GoLand a solid second.
  • The majority of Go devs work on either a Mac or Linux machine (tied in terms of popularity) but Windows is notably popular with newer devs.

A Proposal for Less Error-Prone Loop Variable Scoping — After last week’s attempt to win us over with a new file extension for Go programs, Russ is back with a more serious proposal based on a long-standing desire to change the semantics around the scope of loop variables (but only in apps declaring a modern Go version in go.mod, so as not to break older programs).

▶  Google's Gophers on Building More Secure Apps — Supply chain security is a pressing topic right now, so it’s neat to see folks on the Go team at Google (plus a member of the deps.dev team) tackle it head on both explaining the general problems and how Go and its ecosystem provide numerous tools and approaches to mitigating the problems. (18 minutes.)

IN BRIEF:

How to Build a Serverless Discord Bot with OpenFaaS — A serverless chat bot? Don’t bots need to be long running processes? No, it’s possible for them to be stateless and triggered by events, and Alex shows us how to rig one up with Go atop the OpenFaaS platform (itself written in Go).

Gobot 2.0: A Framework for Robot, Drone and IoT Development — Before focusing on TinyGo, Ron Evans was best known for Gobot, a framework for using Go on robots and similar physical computing projects. Thomas Kohler now seems to be the main maintainer and v2.0 updates all sorts of things.

The Hybrid Group

BARF 1.0: A Framework for Building JSON-Based Web APIs — Not the most appealing name, but it stands for “Basically A Remarkable Framework” here 😆 It’s designed for building simple JSON-based APIs atop either REST or GraphQL. This week’s 1.0 release is the first to be “basically remarkable,” claims the author, which justifies the name I guess..

Amaze: A Program to Create, Solve and Draw Mazes — This is a bit of fun. It’s a Go program that can create, solve and draw mazes either in the terminal or as 2D or 3D graphics (powered by G3N and OpenGL). I like how the author also uses it as a way to promote his clap CLI argument parsing library :-)
