Applied Go

Compiling Go code into a WebAssembly module is easy as pie. Getting the code to interact with the browser requires a few lines of Javascript, but it's less complicated than you might think.

The Go team develops a new garbage collector algorithm suitable for multicore CPU architectures and non-uniform memory. You can try it now!

Security is more crucial than ever. Making security an afterthought is a footgun. Learn how to write secure Go code from the start.

After a long (and exciting) journey through umpteenth of programming languages, I arrived at Go and finally feel at home.

Programming language theory doesn't rule out import cycles ... but this doesn't make them a good idea.

Go's templates allow defining custom functions for use inside the template. Nice, but type safety gets overboard. Are they still worth using?

This happens when JSON and CSV have a baby. (And how your Go code can benefit from it.)

Clipping a slice doesn't free any memory. What is slices.Clip() good for then?

Are option types a good idea, or are they just syntactic sugar?
