Go has a whole ecosystem of static analysis tools that you probably aren't using, but should. Here's how to get started.

I’ve been writing Go pretty casually for years – the backends for all of my playgrounds (nginx, dns, memory, more DNS) are written in Go, but many of those projects are just a few hundred lines and I don’t come back to those codebases much.

Laying the Foundation: Building the Web with HTTP/1.0.

Map is a built-in type that acts as a key-value storage. Unlike arrays where you’re stuck with keys as increasing indices like 0, 1, 2, and so on, with maps, the key can be any comparable type.

A description of range over function types, a new feature in Go 1.23.

This is an important release. No new boards, but we make up for that by adding a bunch of other big stuff!
Some of the highlights:

Go 1.23 support (including the new range-over-func language featu...

A very silly concurrency exercise in using Go channels that send channels that send channels that send channels.

Instead of just throwing these objects after each use, which would only give the garbage collector more work, we stash them in a pool (sync.Pool). The next time we need something similar, we just grab it from the pool instead of making a new one from scratch.

For the last 3 years, Convoy has been an indispensable tool for developers to securely send and receive millions of webhook events daily and at a massive scale. And since it is open source, many developers contribute to the project to ensure it remains highly…

Always choose the right tool for the job? Nah. I use Go basically everywhere, which either makes me insightful or stupid. Decide for yourself! :D

This is a smaller piece that I broke off from a larger article. It’s in the space of Go minutiae, but it’s worth considering if you plan on developing full mastery of the language ecosystem.
So let’s start out with a question: what happens when you run go…
