Russ Cox is stepping down as the Go tech lead

• go

  Here are some citations since people seem to be just downvoting because they don't like the message:

  Go requiring non-ELF standard parameters for initialization of supposedly "C ABI" libraries, open since 2015.

  https://github.com/golang/go/issues/13492

  The Go project specifically acknowledging the glibc-isms here:

  "All Linux first class ports are for systems using glibc only. Linux systems using other C libraries are not fully supported and are not treated as first class."

  https://go.dev/wiki/PortingPolicy

  Go only supporting static-init thread local storage, and thus their "C ABI" libraries can only be dlopen()'ed if the libc pre-allocates memory to hack in libraries later.

• InfluxDB

  Purpose built for real-time analytics at any scale. InfluxDB Platform is powered by columnar analytics, optimized for cost-efficient storage, and built with open data standards.

  

• mgmt

  39 3,573 9.6 Go

  Next generation distributed, event-driven, parallel config management!

  Huge news! I hope the new leadership remembers that keeping golang small and simple was its greatest strength. Adding generics was too much, and while I think there are some important small cases when it's valuable, in practice people are using it when they shouldn't. I'd also like to see less google control of the project.

  I'm certainly thankful for golang as it made my https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/ project possible!

  Thanks Russ!

  > Development has stalled except for the few corporate contributions of doubtful quality.

  Do you have some data to back that up?

  The stats on Github seems to show healthy activity. 700+ merged PRs from 120+ contributors in the last month [1].

  There seems to have been a big influx of new contributors in the last few years. [2]

• CLI11

  13 3,277 8.2 C++

  CLI11 is a command line parser for C++11 and beyond that provides a rich feature set with a simple and intuitive interface.

  I'm definitely considering the same, and you're right - it's not C++ itself that appeals to me at all, it's the libraries. I'm not sure what C libraries I'd use for collections (instead of the STL and Abseil [0]), or in lieu of CLI11 [1] or Dear ImGui [2].

  I think you might be thinking of Rob Pike's project, unless Russ has been involved?

• proposal-pipeline-operator

  105 7,502 2.7 HTML

  A proposal for adding a useful pipe operator to JavaScript.

  

  > The reluctancy to introduce new syntax too quickly (looking at you, TC39 and Babel) makes go an almost maintenance free language.

  Could you provide some examples of this? From knowledge of the pipeline operator proposal[0], moving fast and breaking things isn't always a priority.
