Excited for io/fs. The design work that went into it is hopefully going to lead to the level of interop that we see with io.Reader and io.Writer. It's nice to see the float parsing speedups too. I do wish the Unicode package wasn&

This is a significant milestone for Go, and I'm extremely happy for the community. I didn't imagine getting here when I first started using the language, and yet here we are. Special props to Ian Lance Taylor and Robert Griesemer

There isn't any evidence to suggest this. Slow compilation speed is mostly a consequence of priorities. See https://nikic.github.io/2020/05/10/Make-LLVM-fast-again.html and https://www.reddit.

I totally agree on this matter. There's something really empowering about writing your blogging stack from scratch. I did this a couple years ago ( https://github.com/smasher164/akhil.cc ), and I might even do it ag

async/await is really just another formulation of linked stack frames, where control is explicitly yielded. At the end of the day, the thread stack state needs to be reified somehow, and all of these approaches are equivalent in power.

My music teacher often reminded my of this Lombardi quote which really resonated with me: "Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect."

One thing I don't often see in the discussion of parser technology is what stage in the development cycle you employ a certain strategy. A serious compiler will inevitably use a hand-written parser. Once your language needs mature IDE

I've been using autocert (golang.org/x/crypto/acme/autocert) to fetch and renew certificates. A few weeks ago, I added new subdomains to my site, and noticed that it wasn't being issued new certificates. After

I would love to see defer in the language. It helps keep cleanup code close to the resource that is acquired. Would the proposed defer statement apply to loops as well? How would one implement such defers without dynamic allocation?
