Show HN: I made a 2D shoot 'em up game with Go, using Entity Component System
I do also really like Go for various reasons, and have been working on a Go -> C++ transpiler and associated ECS libs to make a personal game project with. I used it to make a game for Raylib game jam earlier this year too: https://github.com/nikki93/raylib-5k You can see what the development workflow looks like in this video (the ECS stuff also has an editor): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8He97Sl9iy0
I'm trying to decide how much time I should devote to making this easier to set up / use by other people in the medium term, since it's just a side project for me. Might make a codespaces template so it's quick to get started.

Why Am I Excited About WebAssembly?
For the client I use a simple go -> c++ compiler I wrote and compile to wasm from that actually. It had zero overhead interfacing to / calls to C/C++ (including generics<->templates) since it's just generating that. Example web game made with that: https://github.com/nikki93/raylib-5k
I think I've seen wasmtime before. If I needed to interface to any C/C++ things on the server I would probably just write in C/C++ (or Gx) yeah.

Generics can make your Go code slower
Sweet! I've been using it for the same. Example game project (did it for a game jam): https://github.com/nikki93/raylib-5k -- in this case the Go gets transpiled to C++ and runs as WebAssembly too. Readme includes a link to play the game in the browser. game.gx.go and behaviors.gx.go kind of show the ECS style.

How to Build and Document a Go REST API with Gin and Go-Swagger
Now let’s define the functions that will be called whenever a request hits our API. All the functions will be referencing the context provided by the Gin web framework. Paste the following code below the sample slice we just added to api.go:

Password-less Login in Go from Scratch
We will be using Gorilla Mux. As per their last update, they have a new group of maintainers, and their repos have shown activity to confirm that. The tutorial can be easily replicated in any other framework or library as well. So, while we will be using Gorilla Mux, you can try to replicate it in Gin or Fiber as well.

Uploading and Serving Images from MongoDB in Golang
In this blog, we will delve into the fascinating realm of handling images in a Golang application, leveraging the power of the Gin framework for RESTful API development, MongoDB as a robust NoSQL database, and the mongo-driver library for seamless interaction with MongoDB. To store images efficiently, we'll explore the intricacies of GridFS, a specification within MongoDB for storing large files as separate chunks.
