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.

The covid app
If you're curious, the source code is here: App: https://github.com/cds-snc/covid-alert-app Server: https://github.com/cds-snc/covid-alert-server
- COVID Alert App Cost Canada $20 Million, Used Only 869 Times in November
-
From Dec 8, patients unvaccinated by choice must foot their own Covid-19 medical bills: MOH
The apps themselves in Canada at least are open source (server) and have been peer reviewed by third parties and anybody in the community who was interested, a few things were fixed that way. I can not comment on other countries.

- Why Go over Python?

Canada, U.S. working on vaccine passport for travellers with AstraZeneca shot
C'mon, dude, the server code is literally linked from the repo I just showed you.

96% of Canadians who test positive for coronavirus aren’t using COVID Alert app properly
This link https://github.com/cds-snc/covid-alert-server#data-usage provides an example of how you could quantify the data download amounts, as it it based on the number of exposure keys that folks upload. As noted in the article, it's not that high, so the data usage would be minimal. Even with 100% adoption, you're still talking very low bandwidth usage, and there's no need for real-time data, it works quite happily on wifi/etc once a day.

Project Oberon
The Oberon channel has several videos of Oberon in action,
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=The+Oberon+Chan...
While Oberon was quite cool, people should also learn about its Xerox influence,
"Eric Bier Demonstrates Cedar"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_dt7NG38V4
Also dive into what happened afterwards, Oberon-2, Active Oberon, Zonnon,...
Active Oberon could be considered quite modern, also makes the distinction between safe and unsafe pointers, which improves the experience for low level coding.
https://github.com/metacore/A2OS
One of the best things about these systems is proving what systems programming with automatic memory management were capable of.
Given Oberon-2's influence on Go, maybe improving Fyne (https://fyne.io/fynedesk/) with something like gRPC for the dynamic experience, could be a possible sucessor.

Why Go over Python?
The thing is with go is it's kind of made for web applications. It's made by google for google. Taking a look at the standard library you can see the most fleshed out parts are for general system access, networking and particularly http, and crypto. People have obviously made things outside of those scopes like fynedesk, but that's where the focus of golang is.
-
Is there is good GUI for Golang ?
Another angle for when a toolkit is mature could be when it’s used for a full desktop environment :). MacOS and Windows native toolkits obviously tick the box. GTK+ has Gnome, Qt powers KDE (both have Go bindings), Enlightenment is powered by EFL (no Go support yet). Fyne is being used for FyneDesk https://github.com/fyne-io/fynedesk
-
As a longtime BSD user, I have my doubts about our future.
One other idea that I had: There are new approaches to the desktop like e.g. FyneDesk, a *nix desktop environment written in Golang (using its own GUI toolkit). It's BSD-licensed (3-clause) and I would expect the team being more than happy with anybody trying to make it available to a wider audience. Might be worth a thought.

Pure Go desktop for Linux/BSD, FyneDesk reaches v0.2
100% agree on the theming, quick glance at the current implementation seems to indicate hardcoded values (I am assuming this is an early spec) https://github.com/fyne-io/fynedesk/blob/master/theme/theme.go
