The Go proverbs capture the essence of Go. Too concise for your taste? No worries, here is each proverb explained in a limerick.

Writing a concurrency-safe hashmap in Go is dead easy, even an AI can do it! To prove this, I had three AI tools write this blog article, generate Go code, and create an opening image.

Ok, so your radio lacks AirPlay support but has an auxiliary input and can be remote-controlled via the Frontier Silicon API. Fetch a Raspberry Pi, put Shairport-sync and Raspotify on it, plug it into the AUX port, and glue everything together with some Go code. Et voilà - home automation in the small.

If you need to develop an AWS Lambda function in Go, take a look at Mantil, a dev kit with staging and database connection included.

Edit and run Go code right in the browser. No backend required.

Some time ago I wrote about how to create a balanced binary search tree. The search keys and the data payload were both plain strings. Now it is time to get rid of this limitation. go2go lets us do that while waiting for the official generics release.

Ok, to be frank, this article is mostly about the second part of the title. We will build a market simulation with minimal Go code, and show how the rich get richer even when they are not greedy at all.

In the previous post, I used goreleaser to add binaries to a project release. Now let’s have goreleaser build a Homebrew formula as well. Automatically, and for macOS and Linux alike.

“go get” is a super-simple way of installing Go binaries, but not everyone has a Go compiler installed. If you want to make your CLI tools and apps available to the world, have a look at goreleaser.

Two questions for you: Do you name an app module simply “main”? And do you happen to write tests for a main package? If so, you are in big trouble! (Ok, that was a bit clickbait-ey…) Well, the world is not exactly going to end; however, you might encounter an unexpected error that is hard to track down.
