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.

Go 1.22 Release Notes
On the other hand, I advise you NOT to use this kind of library and write simple, fast go code most of the time, with the occasional generics helper. Why the hell would I clutter my code with, for example: https://github.com/samber/lo?tab=readme-ov-file#fromentries-...

Go is not an easy language (2021)
This wasn't feasable without generics, and now with generics they're already adding some convenience functions to the stdlib, like in the slices package.
For map, reduce etc it's not in the stdlib yet, but you can use https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/samber/lo
- I wrote a for loop so you don't have to. Parallel Map, Filter, Reduce library

What is your recommendation for a package beyond std?
In particular, I'd like recommend samber/lo, this is a lodash generic tool for golang.

What 3rd-party libraries do you use often/all the time?
What are some 3rd-party libraries for Go that you use often/all the time? Instead of "just implement everything yourself", I would really like to get some tips. For instance, a few days ago I discovered https://github.com/samber/lo , which looks very good if I want to have list comprehensions (Python) / LINQ methods (C#). https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/atotto/clipboard is also good for clipboard operations. What else do you suggest and for what task?
- Fourteen Years of Go
-
Functional Programming Library for Golang by IBM
A simple alternative is the combination of:
- https://github.com/samber/lo
- https://github.com/samber/mo
The split is also nice as you can choose to just use the generic convenience functions from lo without the more FP related things from mo.

In what ways are channels are better than the traditional await?
Some packages offer utilities to gather results from goroutines, such as multierror.Group or parallel.Map in samber/lo.

samber/lo utility package based on generics
I came across samber/log a package based on generics for providing utility methods.

What are your favorite End-to-End encrypted tools for online privacy?
For messaging I'm currently on Olvid (E2E with physical key exchange) but since it still use their servers, I'm currently testing SimpleX where I can host my own servers.

U.K. Abandons, for Now, Legislation That Would Have Banned End-to-End Encryption
If you have a mobile phone number, the domestic intelligence agency knows exactly where you are at all times and any LEO (without a warrant) can also find you. In addition, there have been numerous CCC presentations showing how insecure the global (excluding US) and (separately) US carriers are guilty of promiscuous metadata trafficking ($$) and insecure SS7 setups. As a consequence, for low $, you can go to any one of several shady websites and find the last location of almost any phone number (person unique ID) globally. There are additional varying exploitable vulnerabilities depending on the exact combination of {handset x carrier x country} to impersonate them, tap their line, reveal their exact location, and redirect their phone number through a third-party handset or even a PBX. These are more expensive and some capabilities are forbidden for all but a few selective intelligence uses.
Session (Signal fork) doesn't use phone numbers. It's pretty well-designed overall and uses an onion routing approach. It's already a superset of Signal except it doesn't use phone numbers. https://getsession.org

PS: Using regular TOR on home broadband or cloud servers is relatively risky and inefficient. Sybil attacks on it are common. And to network operators and security agencies it gives an easy "flow tag" of your uplink and exit node data traffic as automatically suspicious.
