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

    A real golang framework (by lucidfy)

  • Although, somehow I am trying to bootstrap all the structures I like in laravel and making my own "sort of" framework https://github.com/lucidfy/lucid, kind of impressed with the speed and concurrent connections that it can take.

  • go

    The Go programming language

  • The standard library doesn't really depend on c-stuff. This is why we can ship linux containers without a c runtime (no glibc or musl) for go apps. Netcgo is the exception to the rule, and that has caused some issues netcgo. Lastly cgo is not go

  • 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.

  • tauri

    Build smaller, faster, and more secure desktop applications with a web frontend.

  • In my opinion, I can look at various languages, and for the most part have a good estimation as to what specific symbols and characters do without actually being familiar with the language. When I was looking through Tauri source code (which may not be the best quality to look at, I just picked it a few weeks ago as an example, in addition to it growing in popularity), I really did struggle to grasp the logic from just skimming it, due to the various symbols being used. Some examples:

  • hoogle

    Haskell API search engine

  • A fine piece of code, needs a refactor, may I know the name of the package, Google and Hoogle were unable to do their job.

  • lo

    💥 A Lodash-style Go library based on Go 1.18+ Generics (map, filter, contains, find...)

  • You mean lo?

  • simplex-chat

    SimpleX - the first messaging network operating without user identifiers of any kind - 100% private by design! iOS, Android and desktop apps 📱!
