Folks, I'm so glad to announce this first release of [Pygolo](https://gitlab.com/pygolo/py/-/blob/main/README.md). It took me 7 months to get here and I hope you'll enjoy the results. My intent is to make embedding and extending the Python interpreter with Go simple and fresh, easy to deploy, linear to predict, enjoyable to use. Something you can depend on. For more details, see the [release](https://gitlab.com/pygolo/py/-/releases/v0.1.0) on GitLab. (Maybe it's premature but I also created a [r/pygolo](https://www.reddit.com/r/pygolo/) sub. Feel free to join!)
One of the main features of Go, IMO, is that modules are not centralized. You can point to any location for your modules, from github.com to gitlab.com, or even a private registry/git server. I'd hope that people don't confuse github.com as some sort of official repository for all Go packages.
New users finding a project is much more likely on GitHub. I'm not necessarily talking about search. I would expect that experience to be about the same on both, though generally, I see a lot more empty projects showing up in results on GitLab for some reason, at least for things I've searched for there. Github seems to do reasonably well with search ranking. I'm more concerned about the poor experience with https://gitlab.com/explore compared to https://github.com/explore where people are going to be discovering new libraries when they don't know what they are looking for and are either browsing topically or just browsing for fun and learning. GitLab seems to do particularly poorly in their curation and selection of what they show you. GitHub on the other hand, has connected me with countless extremely high quality projects through this feature. Finally, the discoverability advantage of GitHub over gitlab is also simply because more people use GitHub. You don't need to primarily use GitHub to use it to point to GitLab If you want to work there, but you're certainly going to have more users finding your project if you have presence on GitHub.
I did only some small progress here, just a pointer project on GitHub: https://github.com/pygolo/pygolo.
