  • ginkgo

    A Modern Testing Framework for Go

  • The BDD testing framework Ginko [1] has some "weird" / unidiomatic patterns, yet it is very popular

  • code-generator

    Generators for kube-like API types

  • I'm most familiar with Kubernetes. This[0] would not exist if the language had sufficient expressive power. But Prometheus, Kubernetes, etcd... they're distributed CRUD. There's so. much. yaml (runtime flex types) and I believe that's in part due to the inflexibility of the language itself.

  • FrameworkBenchmarks

    Source for the TechEmpower Framework Benchmarks project

  • there's a number of benchmarks you can checkout online.

    number crunching wise, Go is on par with Java and C#: https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...

    for webdev work, the standard library might not be that fast, but it's fast enough, and if you need even more speed the fasthttp third party Implementation offers good speed: https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/
