How to Start a Go Project in 2023 — The same author wrote a similar piece in 2018; a bit has changed since then.

Let's Enhance http.ServeMux's Routing? — Jonathan Amsterdam has kicked off a discussion that he hopes will lead to a proposal to extend the standard HTTP multiplexer’s capabilities by adding HTTP method-based routing and support for wildcards in matched paths. It goes deeper than you’d expect and if you have any interest in HTTP serving and routing game, dive in.

C to WASM to Go — Adding MySQL-compatible regex support to Dolt (a Git-inspired SQL database) proved quite a journey with the simplest solution still being complex. This post touches on CGo, WebAssembly, go embed, and a slew of other tools and technologies.
