Towards the Personal Potential of Software
The first big release of the year was the macdriver project, which got a significant response on Hacker News. It gives us Objective-C and Apple framework bindings for Go, letting you build simple Apple apps entirely from Go. That wasn't possible before, so it was a little exciting, but it was early. The native Go APIs included for commonly used Foundation and Cocoa classes were far from complete. They could still be used if you knew what you were doing, but with an ideal of total coverage of Apple frameworks, that wouldn't be enough. There were also unresolved issues just deciding how to best manage memory and pointers, which I knew would fall on me to figure out and take some time.

Apple API schemas for code generation and more
Even less common are schemas for non-web APIs. In 2016, Electron started releasing a JSON schema of all their APIs that allowed me to build a bridge to use Electron APIs from Go. I had that prototype in mind when I started the macdriver project that was released a couple months ago. Right now we're manually wrapping Apple framework classes with Go types so you can write native Apple platform applications that look like this:
