What annoys you about Go?

1. go-cmp

   1 7 4,460 3.6 Go

   Package for comparing Go values in tests

   

   When I use functional arguments, I either prefix all of the options with the same prefix or put them in a dedicated package (like cmpopts) to help the IDE.

2. Stream

3. windigo

   2 32 495 9.4 Go

   Windows API and GUI in idiomatic Go.

   

   Go has a GC, which is one of the fundamental reasons it's excellent for GUI programming. I'm writing native Windows with Go, and I'm loving it.

4. truthy

   3 6 33 0.0 Go

   Package truthy provides truthy condition testing with Go generics (by earthboundkid)

   

   They didn't have a ternary. ;-)

5. JSON-to-Go

   4 64 4,590 7.0 JavaScript

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

   

   If you know the shape of the JSON, just use https://mholt.github.io/json-to-go/. map[string]interface{} is really only for use when you're acting as a generic transport and you don't care what you're transporting.

6. cgscript

   5 2 1 4.1 Go

   

   I love using go for scripting, but `go run` builds my script for like half a second just for it to run for literally 7ms every time. So I've created cgscript which caches go executables so that go doesn't have to recompile them again and again. Sorry for the shameless plug.

7. gojq

   6 1 189 4.0 Go

   JSON query in Golang (by elgs)

   

8. go

   7 2,276 128,800 10.0 Go

   The Go programming language

   

   The proposal was not by Rob Pike, but by Ian Lance Taylor. And it was accepted back in February. https://github.com/golang/go/issues/43651
