A few weeks ago Anton Zhiyanov published the blog post Expressive tests without testify/assert. It's a good and well thought-out post, and I recommend giving it a read if you haven't already. In the post, Anton makes the argument for not using packages like testify/assert for your test assertions, and instead creating your own minimal set of assertion helpers to use in your tests. In fact, so minimal that there are only 3 helpers he uses: AssertEqual, AssertErr and AssertTrue.

Imagine a bustling airport with a limited number of runways (CPU cores). Thousands of flights (goroutines) need to take off and land efficiently. How do you prevent chaos and ensure no flight is stuck on the tarmac forever? Go’s answer to this air traffic control problem is its ingenious GMP scheduler. It’s the silent maestro conducting the orchestra of your concurrent code. In this article, we’ll move from the control tower view down to the runway tarmac, exploring how Goroutines (G), OS threads (M), and Processors (P) collaborate to keep your application’s traffic flowing smoothly, even during peak load.

Go’s concurrency story is powered by a user space scheduler built around three entities: G, M, and P. Understanding how the scheduler maps millions of goroutines onto a limited number of OS threads helps you write services that scale, diagnose latency spikes, and avoid resource pitfalls.

Go’s interfaces are very funny. Rather than being explicitly implemented, like in Java or Rust, they are simply a collection of methods (a “method set”) that the concrete type must happen to have. This is called structural typing, which is the opposite of nominal typing.

Go interfaces are very cute, but this conceptual simplicity leads to a lot of implementation problems (a theme with Go, honestly). It removes a lot of intentionality from implementing interfaces, and there is no canonical way to document that A satisfies1 B, nor can you avoid conforming to interfaces, especially if one forces a particular method on you.

It also has very quirky results for the language runtime. To cast an interface value to another interface type (via the type assertion syntax a.(B)), the runtime essentially has to use reflection to go through the method set of the concrete type of a. I go into detail on how this is implemented here.

Because of their structural nature, this also means that you can’t add new methods to an interface without breaking existing code, because there is no way to attach default implementations to interface methods. This results in very silly APIs because someone screwed up an interface.

Previous posts Why Go is not my favourite language and Go programs are not portable have me critiquing Go for over a decade.

These things about Go are bugging me more and more. Mostly because they’re so unnecessary. The world knew better, and yet Go was created the way it was.

For readers of previous posts you’ll find some things repeated here. Sorry about that.

This Go package provides commonly used components for terminal based user interfaces.
