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.

Will go ever get C/Java style exceptions?
What really sucks IMO is that there's no compiler support for exhaustive error checks, the amount of boilerplate for handling errors, no sum types like Rust, horrible stacktraces unless you use something like eris, the ease with which you can ignore errors, all make for really poor error handling as it remains. It is now the #1 challenge that devs report for Go as per their own survey. We might see some improvements on this front at some point and seeing the new errors.Join stuff is giving me hope

Thirteen Years of Go - The Go Programming Language
Attaching stacktraces to errors is one way to make errors more readable. Go has notoriously unreadable errors and when you log the error, the logging function is now at the top of the stack rather than where the error actually originated. There needs to be a simple function that adds some default wrapping when you return an error because as it is, you need packages like Eris to make the errors even halfway readable

Zap logging package
Actually just stumbled over eris which seems decent.

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!
