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.

Biscuit 3.0
No, it isn't the third release of a POSIX like OS research written in Go,

If I know neither Go or Rust, which do I choose to learn first/only?
But there are other brave people exists like biscuit or gopher-os who can do it :)))

Pre-Overengineering
That's something I found in doing a bit of a dive on why ripgrep is so fast at doing a very specific kind of string search workload (Gallant / burntsushi / author of ripgrep is an actual wizard and contributes to Rust's regex engines, for reference). I wrote tiny proof of concepts in a variety of languages, all in my same style -- and sometimes my Go variants were as fast as the equivalent Rust/C (even in release / -O3/2 (every once in a blue moon, O3 makes no diff or is a slight regression in some exec paths)). I eventually found something about benchmarks in a related area, leading to this: https://benhoyt.com/writings/count-words/#performance-results-and-learnings. Somebody on the Go sub even linked me to the Biscuit OS: https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/papers/biscuit.pdf, which, tidbit, has Jon Gjengset (Crust of Rust legend) in the contribs list (https://github.com/mit-pdos/biscuit).

Rust: A Critical Retrospective
Go has been used to implement OS kernel code, e.g. in the Biscuit OS from MIT: https://github.com/mit-pdos/biscuit
Of course, the garbage collector did not exactly make it easier - but it's an interesting piece of software.

https://github.com/mit-pdos/biscuit says 5% slowdown over C. Garbage collection is going to require some more RAM, generally <=2x though.

Go: the future encoding/json/v2 module
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

Microsoft Maintains Go Fork for FIPS 140-2 Support
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
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!

What are some alternatives?
Cosmos - Cosmos is an operating system "construction kit". Build your own OS using managed languages such as C#, VB.NET, and more!
v - Simple, fast, safe, compiled language for developing maintainable software. Compiles itself in <1s with zero library dependencies. Supports automatic C => V translation. https://vlang.io
regex-automata - A low level regular expression library that uses deterministic finite automata.
TinyGo - Go compiler for small places. Microcontrollers, WebAssembly (WASM/WASI), and command-line tools. Based on LLVM.
zig - General-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.
Harbol - Harbol is a collection of data structures and miscellaneous libraries, similar in nature to C++'s Boost, STL, and GNOME's GLib; it is meant to be a smaller and more lightweight collection of data structures, code systems, and convenience software.
Nim - Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula. Its design focuses on efficiency, expressiveness, and elegance (in that order of priority).
