Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • pyright

    Static Type Checker for Python

  • go

    The Go programming language

  • Have a look at some of the bugs related to struct tags (420 open ones) - they interact in odd ways and have lots of little directives in them like omitempty,attr,-,set plus they combine too (for xml,json,asn1 etc) and you can stuff your own little language in too if you want, the possibilities are endless! They are a set of limited yet unvalidated translation DSLs stuffed into a string.

    Re build directives - the complaint is they are comments which do things and change code/compilation, the syntax I don't care about, but I do care that they've abused comments to do this.

    I agree, these problems are pretty trivial, I don't lose sleep over them.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • cost-model

    Discontinued Cross-cloud cost allocation models for Kubernetes workloads [Moved to: https://github.com/kubecost/opencost]

  • > No inheritance - no more digging through the massive world-tree of objects to find the code that actually does things.

    That's not 100% accurate; as a concrete example, tell me which files (to say nothing of the actual downstream types!) contain the implementations of this interface method: https://github.com/kubecost/cost-model/blob/v1.88.0/pkg/clou... (err, without using github's fancy new SourceGraph-lite integration, of course, that'd be cheating)

    I find the sibling "No declared interfaces - they are defined at the point of use, not declared elsewhere" similarly suspicious, but suspect we'd having a nomenclature mismatch

  • Quarkus

    Quarkus: Supersonic Subatomic Java.

  • dat

    Go Postgres Data Access Toolkit (by mgutz)

  • There are ORMs available for Golang, but my experience has been better with packages like sqlx [1] or dat [2]. We've since been using SQLX for pretty much all DBMS related work, and regret nothing. In my experience SQLX gave us the right balance between abstraction and control.

  • sqlx

    general purpose extensions to golang's database/sql
