Golang on PSP (and other languages)
I decided to try using Golang on the PSP and explored several approaches, including porting Clang, using TinyGo, and compiling Golang to JavaScript with GopherJS. Then, I came across a user named aethiopicuschan on the PSP homebrew Discord, who was attempting the same goal using WebAssembly. His example worked on PPSSPP but not on actual hardware.

Tools besides Go for a newbie
IDE: use whatever make you productive. I personally use vscode. VCS: git, as golang communities use github heavily as base for many libraries. AFAIK Linter: use staticcheck for linting as it looks like mostly used linting tool in go, supported by many also. In Vscode it will be recommended once you install go plugin. Libraries/Framework: actually the standard libraries already included many things you need, decent enough for your day-to-day development cycles(e.g. `net/http`). But here are things for extra: - Struct fields validator: validator - Http server lib: chi router , httprouter , fasthttp (for non standard http implementations, but fast) - Web Framework: echo , gin , fiber , beego , etc - Http client lib: most already covered by stdlib(net/http), so you rarely need extra lib for this, but if you really need some are: resty - CLI: cobra - Config: godotenv , viper - DB Drivers: sqlx , postgre , sqlite , mysql - nosql: redis , mongodb , elasticsearch - ORM: gorm , entgo , sqlc(codegen) - JS Transpiler: gopherjs - GUI: fyne - grpc: grpc - logging: zerolog - test: testify , gomock , dockertest - and many others you can find here

GopherJS now supports Go 1.18! 🥳
Release notes have all the details. For now it is just compatibility with the 1.18 standard library, but generics support is planned.

Is there a game engine in Go that can make an RTS game?
Why not use https://github.com/gopherjs/gopherjs with jMonkeyEngine as-is?

my experience with blazor
When I wrote my first project in this year, I don't even planed to used blazor. But my childlike curiosity directed me on that path. I wanted to know, haw hard will be port game from desktop to web browser in .net. And I found out is not that hard. But I have experience with similar tools before. I used gopherjs and emscripten. Thanks to that I know what must to do, to communicate c# with javasrcipt. I made working blazor port pretty fast. Not only server side but webassembly to. Of curs create port for different platform always generate some problems. Most weird problem I have in blazor is how floating point number behave. I received in some cases NaN values. This problem I resolve adding value like 0.0001 in calculation.

Replace JS with Rust on front-end, possible? Advisable?
If you're already building the backend in go and you don't like the prospect of coding in JavaScript it might be worth trying out https://github.com/gopherjs/gopherjs

Has anyone created a dApp that interacts with browser wallets?
Maybe this is were https://github.com/gopherjs/gopherjs will truly shine? Has anyone ever seen Go used for this?

Hello World with Proto.Actor: Building Your First Actor Model System in .NET
Another standout feature is Proto.Actor’s excellent documentation, which provides deep insights into both the Actor Model and practical framework usage.

Actor Model Overview
Proto.Actor is the best framework for the Actor Model (you can use it with Go), it is implemented by the book (like Akka) Actor Model and supports the Virtual Actor Model (like Orleans). I would give a change for this framework

Ergo: Erlang-inspired event driven actor framework in Go
My go to actor framework for golang has always been https://github.com/asynkron/protoactor-go. It seems that both protoactor and ergo are heavily influenced by Erlang. Why would one select ergo over protoactor?

Is there a programming language that will blow my mind?
https://github.com/asynkron/protoactor-go & this is a great lib, that implements a Erlang/Akka-like the Actor Model in Go.

Introduction to Software Architecture with Actors: Part 3 — On Simple Systems
I have worked with Orleans and Orbit a little bit and always wanted to have a look to akka.net or proto.actor. Do you know an Open Source project which makes use of actors?

Ergo: Erlang/OTP Implemented in Golang
Looks cool. However, since this is a paid product… if one wants an actor framework for go without the need to connect to Erlang nodes, this will be a fine choice: https://github.com/asynkron/protoactor-go.

Erlang's not about lightweight processes and message passing
A used this a couple of times in production: https://github.com/asynkron/protoactor-go.
