Retry operations with constant, delays and exponential backoff strategies
Why this instead of https://github.com/avast/retry-go or https://github.com/cenkalti/backoff ?

Gosyphus: Retries with exponential backoff
What about https://github.com/cenkalti/backoff?

Libraries you use most of your projects?
In addition to the ones you mentioned, I also always use: + sqlc - Compile SQL to type-safe code + gqlgen - generate GraphQL server from schema + oapi-codegen - Go client and server boilerplate from OpenAPI 3 specifications + pester - Go http calls with retries and backoff + backoff - exponential backoff algorithm in Go

retry package for golang
May I suggest directions to improve? - add option for exponential or linear backoff - stop early on non-retriable errors Example: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/cenkalti/backoff/v4 (do not know about its author, just a package I've been using).
- How to implement a retry mechanism for goroutines?
-
Queuing up API requests with waitgroups?
I have used https://github.com/cenkalti/backoff a few years ago and I don't know if it's the best candidate at this point but it's worth to consider in combination with or as an alternative to x/time/rate if you are going that route.

Check go-testdeep using its operators, it is very easy to do table driven tests, see https://goplay.space/#Z91D72aH3Sc for an example

Do you prefer go-convey over golang's t.Run?
And of course go-testdeep which colorizes the error reports with simple but accurate diff.
