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.

Google's Go may add telemetry reporting that's on by default
Compile time means you catch issues at... well compile time. It also means that the code is optimized. You can look at the performance different between encoding/json and easyjson for why you may desire that.
- JSON encoder/decoder supporting omitempty on structs
- TinyGo Reflection?

Using a json lib other than encoding/json
There is https://github.com/mailru/easyjson out there if you are absolutely sure that serialization is the bottleneck. Otherwise I'd go for stdlib.
-
What type of software do you write at your workplace?
https://github.com/mailru/easyjson fast JSON (de)serializer which go generates code instead of using reflect at runtime.
-
Whats the fastest JSON unmarshaling package as of right now?
If you know the schema of the JSON ahead of time and you need to parse the whole object, I would recommend https://github.com/mailru/easyjson as that will likely give you the fastest result. This works in almost all use cases, and easy to use features such as string interning can save you a lot of time on memory allocation if you parse a lot of JSON objects with identical values.

Some Go(lang) tips
What to use Easyjson is about the top of the pack and it's straightforward. The downside of efficient tools is that they use code generation to create the code required to turn your structs into json to minimise allocations. This is a manual build step which is annoying. Interestingly json-iterator also uses reflection but it's significantly faster. I suspect black magic.
-
Is there a JSON parsing library that generates specialized code for types?
I'm looking for something similar to https://github.com/mailru/easyjson where one can generate a concrete JSON parser for some types.

Обережно кодогенерація
Бібліотека easyjson теж для серіалізації працює через додатковий код замість використання рефлексії. Але після внесення в easyjson одної з оптимізацій, час від часу почали отримувати зламаний JSON, ось приклад тесту який покаже помилку.

Who moved my error codes? Adding error types to your GoLang GraphQL Server
GraphQL’s spec, as it turns out, does not specify how servers should handle internal errors at all, leaving it entirely to the choice of the frameworks’ creators. Take for example our GoLang GraphQL framework of choice - gqlgen. It makes no distinction between intentional and unexpected errors: all errors are returned as-is to the client within the error message. Internal errors, which often contain sensitive information like network details and internal URIs, would leak to clients easily if not caught manually by the programmer.

“Go is hard to justify unless at massive scale”
Better look into this one: https://github.com/99designs/gqlgen for GraphQL powered by Go. It's spec first approach and requires the least boilerplate code to write. It also incorporates seamlessly with Apollo Federation.

Go with PHP
I left PHP for Go.
- with http://sqlc.dev I don't have to write ORM or model code anymore.
- with http://goa.design I can have well-documented API's that any team can generate a client for in any language. It also generates the HTTP JSON and gRPC servers for me so I can focus on my logic.
- with https://github.com/99designs/gqlgen I can define GraphQL revolvers that play well with sqlc (any RDBMS) or I can use a key-value store.
- speaking of key-value stores, Go allows them to be embedded! Even SQLite now has the https://litestream.io/ project to make it super simple to use a durable, always backed-up SQLite database even in a serverless context.
Go is faster, uses less memory, and has really-well designed stdlib without all the bugs I used to face trying to use the PHP stdlib.

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

Ent: An Entity Framework for Go
I have no experience in Django but in Ent with GraphQL.
Ent is not a full-featured web framework so you need to implement many of features by your own or use other libraries (e.g. http server and session management).
If you are only looking for ORM + GraphQL then I highly recommend trying Entgql, an Ent extension for GraphQL with Gqlgen library [1]. Once you define an ORM schema, it will generate GraphQL Query for Relay server. Still you need to implement GraphQL Mutations by your own but at least it will create Input types for you (both for Create/Update).

Best packages?
gqlgen for GraphQL services. It's well documented and maintained.

Decent examples querying models from Postgres
For me sqlc work wonders. If you are developing a user facing api and are fine to go with graphql, with gqlgen you can even autobind (search the page for @goModel) the models that sqlc generates from your queries. A glorious match
