JSON formatted files are readable to humans but the lack of comments decreases readability. With JSONC, you can use block (/* */) and single line (//) comments to describe the functionality. Microsoft VS Code also uses this format in their configuration files like settings.json, keybindings.json, launch.json, etc. This is a Go-only implementation, but the concept is portable to any language (hint, hint).

Mat, Johnny, Jon, and special guest Ian Lance Taylor discuss generics in Go. What are generics and why are they useful? Why aren’t interfaces enough? How will the standard library change if generics are added to Go? How has the community contributed to generics? If generics are added, how will this negatively affect the language?

Johnny, Mat, Jaana, and special guest Stevenson Jean-Pierre discuss serverless in a Go world. What is serverless, what use cases is serverless good for, what are the trade offs, and how do you program with Go differently in the context of serverless?

Arduino announced they now work with TinyGo. To celebrate, they did a Q&A with Ron Evans on the Arduino blog. Why choose TinyGo over other languages? If software is eating the world, then Go is eating the world of software. The popularity of Go is still rapidly expanding, and TinyGo helps bring the new “enterprise standard” language down to the smallest of processors. Also as a compiled language, TinyGo can offer substantially better performance and size efficiency than that of interpreted languages like JavaScript and Python. If you haven’t yet, listen to our recent conversation with Ron Evans at OSCON 2019 to hear more about how “Go is eating the world of software.”

There are other spider management systems out there, but most of them limit you to Python because Scrapyd. Crawlab has no such dependency, so you can use whichever language/framework you’d like. (This looks like a pain to operate, but docker-compose helps quite a bit in that arena.)

Jon, Mat, Johnny, and special guest Cory LaNou discuss the ins and outs of structuring Go programs. Why is app structure so important? Why is it hard to structure Go apps? What happens if we get it wrong? Why do we confuse folder structures with application design? How should a new Go app be structured?

Jon, Mark, Johnny, and special guest Jamal Yusuf discuss what to expect when attending a conference like GopherCon. What should you be doing before you attend GopherCon? What should you bring to the conference? What shouldn’t you bring? What are the training sessions about? What about the hacking sessions and talking with the Go team? What if you don’t know anyone?

Lefthook is “the fastest polyglot Git hooks manager out there.” Written in Go (with Ruby and JavaScript wrappers), Lefthook provides support for concurrently executed scripts out of the box. Check out the linked intro blog post where they describe it in more detail and show how teams like Discourse have put Lefthook to use.

We’re joined by Ron Evans at OSCON on the expo hall floor talking about Go and how it’s eating the world of software. Specifically we’re talking about TinyGo and what they’re doing to bring the Go programming language to micro-controllers and modern web browsers. According to Ron Evans, “embedded systems and Go are the most exciting things happening right now.”

OctoSQL is a SQL query engine which allows you to write standard SQL queries on data stored in multiple SQL databases, NoSQL databases and files in various formats trying to push down as much of the work as possible to the source databases, not transferring unnecessary data. OctoSQL does that by creating an internal representation of your query and later translating parts of it into the query languages or APIs of the source databases. Whenever a datasource doesn’t support a given operation, OctoSQL will execute it in memory, so you don’t have to worry about the specifics of the underlying datasources. If you like writing SQL, you’ll probably like OctoSQL.

A proof-of-concept virtual Kubernetes control plane that lets you take one physical Kubernetes cluster and chop it up in to smaller virtual clusters. The benefits of doing this are: Better security/multitenancy Better separation of concerns between infra and custom controllers (operators) Ability to package complex k8s based applications

Mat and Carmen along with guest panelists Dave Cheney, Peter Bourgon, and Marcel van Lohuizen discuss errors in Go, including the new try proposal. Many questions get answered…What do we think about how errors work in Go? How is it different from other languages/approaches? What do/don’t we like? What don’t we like? How do we handle errors these days? What’s going on with the try proposal?

This is a subjective, primarily developer-ergonomics-based comparison of the three languages from the perspective of a Python developer, but you can skip the prose and go to the code samples, the performance comparison if you want some hard numbers, the takeaway for the tl;dr, or the Python, Go, and Rust diffimg implementations. Not only is this a good way to compare programming languages, but it’s a good way to learn a new language if you’re already familiar with one of the others.

Memorising docker commands is hard. Memorising aliases is slightly less hard. Keeping track of your containers across multiple terminal windows is near impossible. What if you had all the information you needed in one terminal window with every common command living one keypress away (and the ability to add custom commands as well). Lazydocker’s goal is to make that dream a reality.
