    The Go programming language

  • quic-go

    A QUIC implementation in pure Go

  • Ecosystem-breaking packages happen more often than I thought possible in Go. The other one is https://github.com/quic-go/quic-go, which needs to explicitly support a Go version because it relies on some obscure internal of the language around crypto or some shit.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
