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.

Go 1.21 will (probably) download newer toolchains on demand by default
I'm... really not sure I agree with this, from a philosophical point of view. It feels like this is making "eh, we'll just upgrade our Go version next quarter" too easy; ultimately some responsibility toward updating your application's Go version to work with what new dependencies require should fall on Us, the application developers. Sure, we're bad at it. Everyone's lived through running years-old versions of some toolchain. But I think this just makes the problem worse, not better.
Its compounded by the problem that, when you're setting up a new library, the `go` directive in the mod file defaults to your current toolchain; most likely a very current one. It would take a not-insignificant effort on the library author's part to change that to assert the true-minimum version of Go required, based on libraries and language features and such. That's an effort most devs won't take on.
I'd also guess that many developers, up-to this point if not indefinitely because education is hard, interpreted that `go` directive to mean more-of "the version of go this was built with"; not necessarily "the version of go minimally required". There are really major libraries (kubernetes/client-go [1]) which assert a minimum go version of 1.20; the latest version (see, for comparison, the aws-sdk, which specifies a more reasonable go1.11 [2]). I haven't, you know, fully audited these libraries, but 1.20 wasn't exactly a major release with huge language and library changes; do they really need 1.20? If devs haven't traditionally operated in this world where keeping this value super-current results in actually significant downstream costs in network bandwidth (go1.20 is 100mb!) and CI runtime, do we have confidence that the community will adapt? There's millions of Go packages out there.
Or, will a future version of Go patch a security update, not backport it more than one version or so, and libraries have to specify the newest `go` directive version, because manifest security scanning and policy and whatever? Like, yeah, I get the rosy worldview of "your minimum version encodes required language and library features", but its not obvious to me that this is how this field is, or even will be, used.
Just a LOT of tertiary costs to this change which I hope the team has thought through.

Looking for library recommendations: Django -> Golang port
I figured I'd ask the community for some recommendations for the following capabilities that Django + python stack is giving me at the moment: 1. Amazon SES Mailing (considering - aws-sdk-go) 2. Django Admin (considering go-admin 3. Django Signals (considering syncsignals 4. Celery (No contenders here)

Go: the future encoding/json/v2 module

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
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
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!
