FWIW, there is a proposal to add telemetry to LLVM [0] and Rust used to have telemetry [1], both off by default. Some things in the node.js world have telemetry enabled by default, like Next.js [3]. Some people are posting here as if this i

shfmt is like gofmt, rustfmt, ..., but for shell programs. Supports bash, posix, mksh, bats.

For open source projects in general, and the Go project in particular, I think it is easy to underestimate how much maintainer time is consumed discussing & considering whether a change should be made.

As I understand it, written in Go. There's a mildly humorous "How do you know" exchange where someone on HN quizzes the very person most likely to know: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9920020

> the ban prevents me from discussing the matter further Hi ddevault, FWIW, in May 2022 on that #44577 issue [0] you had opened, it looks like someone on the core Go team commented there [1] recommending that you email the golang-dev mai

Hi Steve, first, thanks for weighing in here! I might have misunderstood your comment, but in my GP comment I was indeed attempting to contrast 'go install foo@latest' with 'cargo install foo', which both install binarie

In that same section, the blog describes the behavior of 'go install foo@latest' and contrasts it to how the default install "in some ecosystems bypass pinning." That is also a difference in default behavior between Go a

The default way Go handles go.mod is fairly different than the default way Cargo handles Cargo.lock files, including for example with libraries. Also, when the blog says: > Moreover, when a dependency is added with go get, its transitive

That's a nice & concise way to describe it.

> Okay but if I depend on A and A depends on C and has it pinned at 1.5, but I also depend on B and B has C pinned on 1.8, then I get 1.5? No, you end up with the highest explicitly required version. So 1.8 in that scenario, if I follo

I think you might have a small typo here: > by choosing the lowest version specified in any package that depends on a given package It picks the highest version specified in any of the requirements. (That's the minimal version t

That's not correct. You can unilaterally decide to update the version of E without waiting for anyone. Alternatively, if only C for example decides to update their required version of E, you would get that version of E if you updated y

I suspect the primary purpose of the word "may" in that sentence is that you can choose to disable checking the hash against the Certificate Transparency style https://sum.golang.org . In other words, you can opt out. I

Continuing that example -- in Go you end up with v1.0.1 of X by default even if v1.0.2 is the latest version of X. That is a difference with many other package managers that can default to using the latest v1.0.2 of X (even if v1.0.2 was

by typical182 5y ago
FWIW, that's not what Go does. In your scenario, a Go binary ends up with a single copy of library X -- the 1.0.1 version. That's because library A is stating "I require at least v1.0.0 of X", and library B is stating &q

FWIW, there are two machine-formatted sections of go.mod -- the first for direct dependencies, the second section for indirect dependencies. (That's as of Go 1.17. Previously, that information was communicated via machine-generated com

There are some subtleties here, but go.mod files are not lockfiles, including go.mod files don't follow a traditional constraint/lockfile split, which I think is part of the point in that snippet you quoted. Another way they diffe

Very nice write up. Go’s focus on simplicity means that there is only a single parameter, SetGCPercent, which controls how much larger the heap is than the live objects within it . FWIW, there is a new proposal from a member of the core Go
