Golang Weekly - Python and PHP are Go's newest friends

The Latest Go Developer Survey Results — The official Go survey now takes place twice each year and four thousand of you took the latest one (2023 H2). No shocks, but there were some takeaways, particularly for the Go team themselves:

• Linux and macOS are by far the most commonly used OSes.
• The Go team feels the results largely validate the work they've been doing on the gonew project templating approach.
• VS Code is the most popular IDE, but GoLand is close behind.
• Most Go developers are keen to adopt AI to help them build software and to write tests, in particular, but less keen for it write code in full.
• 21% of developers currently maintain an open source Go module.

🐍  Pygolo 0.2.0: Embed or Extend Python with Go — It works both ways. Your Go app can run its own private Python runtime side by side, in the same process, and accesses it as needed, like this.
