It's funny when people post things here that are written in go, they always want to let you know that. Nothing wrong with that, I just don't see it as much with other languages.

part of the reason could be to emphasize that single binary would be easy to operate

op here, I only put the language as when I self host anything I like knowing how to extend the program and be comfortable with the lang

You see it with both Rust and Go.

We see it with whatever is trendy, lately it's been Rust. I don't see anything wrong with it, usually people are proud of it because they used the project as a way to learn a new technology, which is why it's in the title (I don't know if that's the case here).

I wish this kind of thing was more prevalent, actually. I'd probably avoid clicking through most links for projects written as node.js applications.

Haskell, Rust and Go are the big 3 for name dropping at the moment. Those come after being vegan but before crossfit in 'what I do is a personality' bingo.

  Haskell? I feel like I haven't seen it much. Interestingly though I just started to learn it, so I would like to see it more.

    And Nix

      I honestly think Nix has gotten bigger than Arch in that way. "BTW, I use Nix" should be a thing too.

        So, when can people say they really use nix? Can you just look in their github repos and call it a day?

I know Rust and Go are at the peak of their hype-cycle here on HN, but I still personally appreciate the language being mentioned in the title - if it's a language I use, I will naturally be more interested.

  Same filter works the other way too for the skip operation

You'd expect it to be easy to deploy if it's written in go. I don't see a problem mentioning it.

When I see "in Go", I infer: * it's likely easy to build/package, since deep dependency trees don't occur much in practice. Alternatively, there could be a binary available on Github. * it's going to behave similar to https://12factor.net/ https://12factor.net/ * it's going to be working in 3 years time (since the language and library authors value backwards compatibility) * I can contribute to it, and not expect it to use some obscure async/web library that makes contributions harder. They're all important to me. I think Go is a bit uninspiring as a language, but maybe I don't need that.

How did you filter out cloned in rust or written in rust posts from your feed, teach me senpai.
