The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

  • WASM Instructions
    13 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 18 Feb 2024
    Block only. There’s a tail call proposal[1] that’s in phase 4 (nearly standardized).

  • Extism Makes WebAssembly Easy
    13 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 4 Oct 2023
    While it'd be a nice addition, I wouldn't expect it any time soon.

    It's currently still a stage 1 proposal, while we've been waiting for years for other proposals to be merged. The last time a proposal was actually finished was over 2 years ago.

  • Show HN: Unity like game editor running in pure WASM
    9 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 26 Sep 2023
    Do you know anything about any WASM developments that will enable pure WASM interaction with browser's Web-APIs at no or at a low cost without the JS layer? I'm looking at https://github.com/WebAssembly/proposals and it's very confusing. There are type imports, almost complete GC proposal(which apparently only for GCd languages, but not for anything browser<->wasm), the component model(which looks and sounds as something not for the browser use case), JS String Builtins (which will provide faster JS strings, but not DOM) and ECMAScript module integration (which will turn WASM modules into ES modules, but Web-APIs aren't ES modules so no luck). Sometimes I read contributor interactions and it looks as if providing such functionality isn't their priority or even in their plans, and WASI + component model for cloud and similar use cases are more important.
  • Haskell WebAssembly in the Browser
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 21 Sep 2023
    It's already in Phase 4, so close: https://github.com/WebAssembly/proposals#phase-4---standardi...
  • WASM typed function references and GC are in standardization
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 14 Sep 2023
  • WASI Support in Go
    7 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 13 Sep 2023
    Threads are Phase 3

    https://github.com/WebAssembly/proposals

    You can also check out:

    https://webassembly.org/roadmap/

    And for Go, the proposal project on Github has many interesting conversations from the devs.

    And as a reminder to anyone interested in using Go WASM, it’s experimental and does not come with the same compatibility promise as Go itself:

  • Learn WebAssembly by writing small programs
    7 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 5 Sep 2023
    GC proposal is from 2018: https://github.com/WebAssembly/proposals/issues/16 and there’s code: https://github.com/WebAssembly/gc/blob/master/proposals/gc/O...

    Seems like an awefully long time for progress to be made, given all the possibilities it would unlock.

  • Directly compiling Scheme to WebAssembly: lambdas, recursion, iteration
    5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 31 May 2023
    The proposal was recently bumped to stage 4 (the penultimate stage) with at least a couple of runtimes working on implementing (besides v8, which has supported it for quite awhile now)

  • How do Rust WebAssembly apps free unused memory?
    5 projects | /r/rust | 26 Feb 2023
    But basically it boils down to the memory control proposal, which can be found here and is not very far along; Webassembly proposals lists it in stage one.

  • 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

    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

    There used to be the GO FIPS branch :

    But it looks dead.

    And it looks like https://github.com/golang-fips/go as well.

  • Borgo is a statically typed language that compiles to Go
    21 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 30 Apr 2024
    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!
