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.

Show HN: Togomak – declarative pipeline orchestrator based on HCL and Terraform
I am looking forward to a mix of both - I am hoping to add a concept called "operator" which would be a go-plugin [1], just like terraform providers, but build backends. So, someone would be able to, say, write a Slack plugin (in Go, or anything over RPC) which sends a message once a build is complete - like Jenkins/GitHub actions, or just scripts that we can reuse like GitLab CI through `modules`.
Perhaps a new registry where we can push custom modules and providers (operators in this case), I'm curious to know about if we have any existing implementations we could reuse for the registry.

referencing packages on the internet and using go plugin
I'd recommend looking into a different approach for plugins such as hashicorp/go-plugin (which uses multiple process PIDs and RPC communication between them) or traefik/yaegi (which implements a Go-compatible scripting language that can be interpreted at runtime and which still supports most Go modules).
- Can Go dynamically load library module at runtime?
-
Binary packages alternative
You'll never fully protect your code from someone who's dead-set on reverse-engineering it, however, you can use https://github.com/hashicorp/go-plugin or a similar RPC technique, which will let you ship binary plugins and will also be less fragile and janky compared to something made with `-buildmode=plugin`.

How would you guys support plugins in a Go app? (or any other compiled language for that matter)
The plugin system that hashicorp uses for all their projects works very well. It's essentially a local RPC implementation. https://github.com/hashicorp/go-plugin

Is the documentation for making non-go plugins in the go-plugin repo outdated?
can you try older go-plugin versions? The only major change in v1.4.4 was a bugfix for automtls. https://github.com/hashicorp/go-plugin/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

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.

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!

OpenBSD 7.5 Released
When Go first shipped, it was already well-documented that the only stable ABI on some platforms was via dynamic libraries (such as libc) provided by said platforms. Go knowingly and deliberately ignored this on the assumption that they can get away with it. And then this happened:
https://github.com/golang/go/issues/16606
If that's not "getting burned", I don't know what is. "Trying to provide a nice feature" is an excuse, and it can be argued that it is a valid one, but nevertheless they knew that they were using an unstable ABI that could be pulled out from under them at any moment, and decided that it's worth the risk. I don't see what that has to do with "not being as broadly compatible as they had hoped", since it was all known well in advance.

Go's Error Handling Is Perfect
Sadly, I think that is indeed radically different from Go’s design. Go lacks anything like sum types, and proposals to add them to the language have revealed deep issues that have stalled any development. See https://github.com/golang/go/issues/57644
