    The Go programming language

    I dislike how the implicit reference-like behavior of slices, maps, channels, and function pointers confuses newcomers to the language. It would be less ergonomic to have to declare them as pointer types, but it would be more clear to readers. The language used to actually do this in its pre-1.0 infancy (example). Everything is passed by value, but the values are pointer themselves to the actual data structures.

  • JSON-to-Go

    Translates JSON into a Go type in your browser instantly (original)

    https://mholt.github.io/json-to-go/ is a nice tool for generating a struct definition to fit some sample JSON.

  • Appwrite

    Appwrite - The open-source backend cloud platform. The open-source backend cloud platform for developing Web, Mobile, and Flutter applications. You can set up your backend faster with real-time APIs for authentication, databases, file storage, cloud functions, and much more!
