- alexedwards 3mo agoAs the author of this post, I can answer this question with a very clear "no". There is an interesting side point though. I've been blogging about Go since 2013 (generally writing similar articles to this one) and from 2013 to 2025 I think just one post made the front page of HN. In 2026, all 3 posts I've written have. My theory is that there's now fewer people spending the time to write original content. With LLMs and AI-generated instant answers in search, the incentive to write these kind of deep-dive articles is way less than it used to be, so maybe there's both less competition and more appreciation for it? That's my working theory at the moment anyway.
- gnabgib 3mo agoI just liked the content.. I can't answer the rest of the speculation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Have you tried Lorca[0]? A wails that assumes you have chrome installed (as most do) so: much smaller binaries. [0]: https://github.com/zserge/lorca https://github.com/zserge/lorca [1]: https://wails.io/ https://wails.io/
