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.

Good Books for a GO Beginner in 2023/24
Go never changed as much as Java does in each major release, so old books are still relevant. https://www.gopl.io/ is fine if you read about generics and some new standard library modules somewhere else later.

Is go worth studying as first language?
The GOPL book is good one to start with, if you prefer reading books. https://www.gopl.io/
-
Does anyone have any good resources to practice channel, context, and goroutine?
Not that they are leet code style, but some exercises from "The Go Programming Language" are really worth having a look at, also most solutions are available at https://github.com/adonovan/gopl.io
- Best way to learn GoLang for Java Developers?
- How similar is GO to C?
-
is go still simple?
What part(s) are you struggling with and how are you learning? The Go Programming Language is slightly outdated but is an excellent intro. You can read the first chapter free. Also the resources on https://go.dev/learn/ are great. If I were you, I would come up with an idea you're excited about and build it.
-
Learning about concurrency
For a deeper dive, I’d recommend The Go Programming Language - a fantastic resource covering a broader landscape of the language than just concurrency.
-
If you want to learn Golang - please go through "Go Programming Language" by Brian Kernighan and Alan Donovan
"Low-level programming" is chapter 13, both in the version I have and on https://www.gopl.io/ -- the rest is all somewhat crucial stuff, except for maybe reflection.

Go: the future encoding/json/v2 module
A Discussion about including this package in Go as encoding/json/v2 has been started on the Go Github project on 2023-10-05. Please provide your feedback there.
-
Evolving the Go Standard Library with math/rand/v2
I like the Principles section. Very measured and practical approach to releasing new stdlib packages. https://go.dev/blog/randv2#principles
The end of the post they mention that an encoding/json/v2 package is in the works: https://github.com/golang/go/discussions/63397

Microsoft Maintains Go Fork for FIPS 140-2 Support
There used to be the GO FIPS branch :
https://github.com/golang/go/tree/dev.boringcrypto/misc/bori...
But it looks dead.
And it looks like https://github.com/golang-fips/go as well.

Borgo is a statically typed language that compiles to Go
I'm not sure what exactly you mean by acknowledgement, but here are some counterexamples:
- A proposal for sum types by a Go team member: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/57644
- The community proposal with some comments from the Go team: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/19412
Here are some excerpts from the latest Go survey [1]:
- "The top responses in the closed-form were learning how to write Go effectively (15%) and the verbosity of error handling (13%)."
- "The most common response mentioned Go’s type system, and often asked specifically for enums, option types, or sum types in Go."
I think the problem is not the lack of will on the part of the Go team, but rather that these issues are not easy to fix in a way that fits the language and doesn't cause too many issues with backwards compatibility.

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!
