  • Ask HN: What are some tools / libraries you built yourself?

    I build a logging library for Go, because I couldn't find one that logs to stdout AND stderr. If you used a logging lib on GCP for example, all log output went into the same pile of junk and it was hard to find "real" errors: https://github.com/emvi/logbuch

    Then there is "null", also because I couldn't find one that got both, marshalling to JSON and be able to store null values in db: https://github.com/emvi/null

    And finally, our "flagship" open-source project Pirsch, an embedded library for web analytics: https://github.com/pirsch-analytics/pirsch

  • Is there something similar to blessed.rs ?

    If it were true, there wouldn't be any 3rd-party libs for Go and everybody used just the stdlib. For instance, if you need a set, you can use https://github.com/deckarep/golang-set . Of course, you can do it with the stdlib with map, but if you don't want to do that, use golang-set . I think Python has a much larger stdlib and yet, Python has tons of 3rd-party packages.
  • Any major projects using generics?

    golang-set is a set implementation used by docker, ethereum and others. 2.8k stars on GitHub. Pretty popular project. Not sure if it counts as major. https://github.com/deckarep/golang-set

  • Does anyone else get tired of the "that's trivial to implement" excuse for leaving things out of the standard library?
    6 projects | /r/golang | 15 Sep 2022
    Why not look at something like https://github.com/deckarep/golang-set ?
  • Go 1.18 Released

    It depends on the level of abstraction you're addressing. One level may be "i need to store things with a quick search function", another may be "i need a storage of ordered names and expiry date for things", etc until you get to "I need a binary tree which orders by comparable types".

    Where you split that process as a separate library you either decide to write or reuse - that becomes the problem to solve. A set implementation may be a problem to solve: https://github.com/deckarep/golang-set A btree may be a problem to solve: https://gitlab.com/cznic/b/-/tree/master/v2

  • Major update to the golang-set repo now supporting generics syntax for Go 1.18beta1 release
    1 project | /r/golang | 25 Dec 2021
    This pre-release only exists on the generics branch at: https://github.com/deckarep/golang-set/tree/generics. Eventually this release would be tagged with a 2.0 release tag name.
