GoMLX: ML in Go without Python — Eli recently wrote about Go’s suitability as a glue language for calling out to third party machine learning services and Python ‘sidecars’, but could you just do the heavy lifting from Go itself? GoMLX provides one option.

📊  What's Coming in Go 1.24 — A 52-slide deck that goes through language, tooling, and standard library changes coming to Go 1.24 (expected in January or February 2025). There’s quite a bit here, including generic type aliases, weak pointers, and an experimental test package for concurrent code.

Are Go's Generics Simple or Incomplete? A Design Study — Some argue that Go’s generic implementation only added complexity to the language, while others disagree. Nick takes us through a complex problem that he struggled to solve with generics, eventually ending up with a solution that works but felt a bit harder than necessary. Some commenters on Reddit felt that his approach was more OO / interface-based than it needed to be, though.

▶  WASI to Go: Write Once, Go Anywhere — A talk from the recent WASMCon event exploring Go’s relationship with WebAssembly and how WASM can help ‘Go go anywhere.’ A pretty good primer on the topic as things currently stand.

🎁 And a little bonus quote..

I saw this 2020 blog post by Brad Fitzpatrick the other day and liked an insight he shared about complexity and how Go changed his opinion of it:

"I used to tolerate and expect complexity. Working on Go the past 10 years has changed my perspective, though. I now value simplicity above almost all else and tolerate complexity only when it's well isolated, well documented, well tested, and necessary to make things simpler overall at other layers for most people."
