📣 Quite a few cool bits and pieces in the Code & Tools section at the bottom of this week's issue, so be sure to check it out if you don't usually 😁 |
Go's Major Versioning 'Sucks' (From a Fanboy)— Go’s versioning policy beyond v1 is taking a bit of flak from some quarters of the community. To be fair, it’s a hard problem, and how we got here is understandable, and Lane concludes that “Go still has the best toolchain and ecosystem.” Lane Wagner |
Doing Cool Stuff With Go’s AST Package— go/ast is a built-in package that lets you explore syntax tree representations (i.e. ASTs) of Go code. Here’s an introduction to using it. Cooper Thompson |

gopls v0.5.0 Released: Go's Language Server— Go’s official language server (used to provide extra Go-flavored functionality to editors and IDEs) adds some new features, such as extract-to-function and view GC optimization details, along with bug fixes. Go Project |
YARR: Yet Another RSS Reader— You definitely need to pronounce YARR like a pirate, in my opinion. Always good to see a desktop application built in Go, too. Nazar Kanaev |
Yaegi 0.9: Yet Another Elegant Go Interpreter— A Go interpreter to enable Go to be used for scripting within other apps, interactive shells, or for quick prototyping. You can use it as a REPL or embed it into your own apps. Traefik |
