  • Go: the future encoding/json/v2 module
    2 projects | dev.to | 2 May 2024
    A Discussion about including this package in Go as encoding/json/v2 has been started on the Go Github project on 2023-10-05. Please provide your feedback there.
  • Evolving the Go Standard Library with math/rand/v2
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 1 May 2024
    I like the Principles section. Very measured and practical approach to releasing new stdlib packages. https://go.dev/blog/randv2#principles

    The end of the post they mention that an encoding/json/v2 package is in the works: https://github.com/golang/go/discussions/63397

  • Borgo is a statically typed language that compiles to Go

    I'm not sure what exactly you mean by acknowledgement, but here are some counterexamples:

    - A proposal for sum types by a Go team member: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/57644

    - The community proposal with some comments from the Go team: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/19412

    Here are some excerpts from the latest Go survey [1]:

    - "The top responses in the closed-form were learning how to write Go effectively (15%) and the verbosity of error handling (13%)."

    - "The most common response mentioned Go’s type system, and often asked specifically for enums, option types, or sum types in Go."

    I think the problem is not the lack of will on the part of the Go team, but rather that these issues are not easy to fix in a way that fits the language and doesn't cause too many issues with backwards compatibility.

  • AWS Serverless Diversity: Multi-Language Strategies for Optimal Solutions
    4 projects | dev.to | 28 Apr 2024
    Now, I’m not going to use C++ again; I left that chapter years ago, and it’s not going to happen. C++ isn’t memory safe and easy to use and would require extended time for developers to adapt. Rust is the new kid on the block, but I’ve heard mixed opinions about its developer experience, and there aren’t many libraries around it yet. LLRD is too new for my taste, but **Go** caught my attention.
  • How to use Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) for Go applications
    3 projects | dev.to | 28 Apr 2024
    Generative AI development has been democratised, thanks to powerful Machine Learning models (specifically Large Language Models such as Claude, Meta's LLama 2, etc.) being exposed by managed platforms/services as API calls. This frees developers from the infrastructure concerns and lets them focus on the core business problems. This also means that developers are free to use the programming language best suited for their solution. Python has typically been the go-to language when it comes to AI/ML solutions, but there is more flexibility in this area. In this post you will see how to leverage the Go programming language to use Vector Databases and techniques such as Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) with langchaingo. If you are a Go developer who wants to how to build learn generative AI applications, you are in the right place!
