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.

A "Tiny" APISIX Plugin
Reading through the documentation, you will understand why this plugin is called "tiny," i.e., the SDK uses the TinyGo compiler instead of the official Go compiler. You can read more about why this is the case on the SDK\'s overview page, but the TLDR version is that the Go compiler can only produce Wasm binaries that run in the browser.

What's Zig got that C, Rust and Go don't have? [video]
Not only you can fit Go into a kernel, there is at least two products that do so.
TamaGo, used to write the firmware used in USB armory.

TinyGo, which even has official Arduino and ARM support, and is sponsored by Google
https://tinygo.org/
Ah but that isn't proper Go! Well neither is the C code that is allowed to be used in typical kernel code, almost nothing from ISO C standard library is available, and usually plenty of compiler specific language extensions are used instead.

Show HN: A new stdlib for Golang focusing on platform native support
Reminds me of https://tinygo.org/ - a project that brings Golang to embedded devices, browser (wasm) contexts. Do you converge or diverge from that project?
- TinyGo release 0.29 is out
-
Pico with C
You should also consider TinyGo. It can compile Go for the Pico, and is starting to get good device support.

Rust 1.71.0
Thankfully some folks completly ignored whatever the rest of the world thinks system programming is all about and created:
- TinyGo (https://tinygo.org/), which is acknowledged by people in the industry[0][1]
- TamaGo unikernel on USB Armory secure key (https://www.withsecure.com/de/solutions/innovative-security-...)
And then there is the question if writing compilers, assemblers, linkers is systems programming or not.

When would you (not) recommend Go over Rust?
Have you seen TinyGo? In the case of embedded system I would probably still chose C over Rust if the system didn't support dynamic memory allocation, and most embedded systems do not.

There's TinyGo as well. https://tinygo.org/

WebAssembly System Interface (WASI) with sockets for Go
Gist link fixed, thanks. Compared to TinyGo, Go with GOOS=wasip1 will probably generate larger artifacts (at least, for now). This is because it bundles the entire Go runtime. The benefit is that it fully supports goroutine scheduling and non-blocking I/O. TinyGo (I believe) still uses a custom asyncify pass and does not support non-blocking I/O nor basic WASI networking (e.g. https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/pull/2748 never landed, but GOOS=wasip1 supports it).

OS in Go? Why Not
There's two major production-ready Go-based operating system(-ish) projects:
- Google's gVisor[1] (a re-implementation of a significant subset of the Linux syscall ABI for isolation, also mentioned in the article)
- USBArmory's Tamago[2] (a single-threaded bare-metal Go runtime for SOCs)
Both of these are security-focused with a clear trade off: sacrifice some performance for memory safe and excellent readability (and auditability). I feel like that's the sweet spot for low-level Go - projects that need memory safety but would rather trade some performance for simplicity.

Taking a deep dive into C++ gave me more appreciation for Go's simplicity
I've been keeping an eye on TinyGo (Go compiler that targets microcontrollers and uses LLVM) and also TamaGo (allows you to run Go on bare metal, without any C dependency).

ISO C became unusable for operating systems development
> just proves your lack of knowledge
Tone is not needed.
For TamaGo, it seems to allow developers run their application, not build an OS on the hardware. But I have not played with it, you are right.
> TamaGo is a framework that enables compilation and execution of unencumbered Go applications on bare metal
The environment does not seem to allow building a generic operating system [1]. F-Secure ported the runtime itself to boot natively. But please correct me.
> There is no thread support
The environment you run in is specifically curated for Go applications, such as the memory layout. I'd call this an "appliance" rather than enabling Go to be used for full-fledged generic operating system implementations.
