genny VS websocket

Im not sure about any library in particular.

There were bunch of libraries which helped with code generation to work around generics. I don't think it was specific to Graphql.

https://github.com/cheekybits/genny is one I have seen.

TypeScript is pretty much necessary for a modern JS project if you ask me, so I agree with you here. At the same time, I'd say that if the JS ecosystem offers a solution, that doesn't count as a failure. It's like pointing to the lack of generics in Go and calling that a failure. No, that's a design choice that can be worked around. Same in JS; dynamic typing was a design choice, TypeScript is a solution.

If you want to experiment, I've been meaning to try out this library, which uses code generation (a first-class feature in go), to give generics-like functionality.

If you are into codegen, there are some larger codegen projects or there, like cheekybits/codegen (there are more in the space of trying to circumvent generics in go).

In golang there is no parametric polymorphism (or “type parameters”, or “generics”). So people created workarounds, for example, gengen (similar solutions genny, generic, gen):

What I can say is that if you will use Gorilla Websocket (https://github.com/gorilla/websocket) (it's archived now unfortunately, but still super robust) - then you can go to sth like 15-20kb per connection - see https://github.com/FZambia/go_websocket_memory - to achieve this you need to reduce read buffer size, reuse write buffers, use goroutine after hijacking connection (following chat example in Gorilla WebSocket repo).

No Bugs? https://github.com/gorilla/websocket/issues Even if that were true at the time of stoping development, "No bugs" is something that can never be said for any software. I really wish this community stopped recomending to use abandoned libraries if only for the potential Security issues. A not maintained Library is a very lucrative target for vulnerability hunting.

The Gorilla WebSocket License says:

We'll be using WebSocket library: "github.com/gorilla/websocket" ❣️

package github.com/gorilla/websocket is not a main package

As for Websockets, (https://github.com/gorilla/websocket) it uses ws.NextReader() to handle heavy loads of connections.

I'm looking to build a game server that uses web sockets to communicate with clients, I've looked into some of the libraries and the main ones seem to be gorilla websockets and melody.

If this is what your import looks like "github.com/gorilla/websocket" that's wrong it should be just "github.com/gorilla/websocket"
