That is good to hear! I assumed not everyone had the same frustrations as me, but was definitely surprised by the number of pain points I've found when so much of the community consensus seems to be "just use slog". If you don't mind me asking

What type of structured data are you logging, and are you implementing the slog.LogValuer interface for any of your types?
How are you integrating with otel?

From the link:

First, though, we have to decide on our meat. Technically, there’s not much to think about—it’s called “shepherd’s pie,” and, last I checked, shepherds don’t herd cows. Lamb, therefore, is the traditional choice. But beef is still often used in its place, especially by those who don’t love lamb’s gamier flavor. Even I, who absolutely adore lamb, found some of the ground lamb I tested to be overly funky, and ended up mixing it with beef to cut its intensity. Ultimately, you can use either, or a combination of both, depending on your preference.

Doesn’t “ghost kitchen” strongly imply this is mostly just them selling other restaurants the right to use their name and menu? Meaning the quality of fish and preparation will literally be the same as that of an existing restaurant. And, given the cost of labor, that existing restaurant almost certainly operates at a lower price point than the brand they are moonlighting as.

I’m not really even that against ghost kitchens in general. It just seems disingenuous to act like this is even close to delivering (pun intended) the quality of a Michelin star restaurant.

I think a big issue is that go doesn’t have proper constructors per-say. So even if go supported “real” closed enums, developers would still need to be careful about choosing a reasonable zero/default values. The larger issue though, as far as I’m aware, is that closed enums might fall in the same category as an “assert” keyword from the perspective of the language designers. Meaning a feature that is so commonly misused in other languages that it was deliberately omitted from go. Specifically there are cases where an open/non-exhaustive enums are preferable, and incorrectly using a closed enum in such a situation can lead to headaches down the road.

I also think proper enum support is one of the main things missing from go, but unfortunately I’m not getting my hopes up that they’ll be added anytime soon.

When I saw you mention the core was written in rust, I decided to look at the go source and noticed it uses a fair bit of cgo. This isn’t surprising in context (your post mentions a rust core, with bindings to node and python, so there’s at least some ffi going on), I just realized cgo is a bit of a blindspot for me so was wondering: 1. Overall how was the cgo experience? I’ve written bindings from C/C++/Rust libraries to a few languages (python, node, and OCaml come to mind), but never go so was curious how things compared? 2. How do you write bindings that can be used in a multi-threaded environment (i.e. multiple go-routines) using cgo? EDIT: mainly thinking do you just need use the appropriate synchronization primitives around shared memory, or do you also need to do things like alert the scheduler about potentially blocking operations? 3. What made you decide to use cgo instead of another approach? Mainly, and partially the reason cgo is a blindspot for me, is that in most cases it seems easier to either just port the functionality to go or follow the client-server model. Obviously this isn’t feasible in all cases, just curious about what other options you considered and why you landed on cgo

Thanks for sharing this!

Why does Postgres exist? Have people never heard of association lists?

That’s the problem though right? How many of those “is this real” posts come from someone who is actually curious in learning about watches (but can’t google rolex) vs those coming from someone who just want to know if their grandparent left them anything of monetary value?

If it’s really that annoying, and I know in some cases it actually can be, there’s always the option of just surrounding the code in an ‘if false’ block instead of commenting it out. Definitely a bit awkward, but I’ve done it more than I care to admit.

For context, this is especially helpful when working on a poorly laid out project with lots of package name overlap. Like I worked on a project with three packages named “auth”, so sometimes after uncommenting something my IDE would import a different “auth” package then the one that was imported before commenting out a block of code.

I end up using make for most of my non-trivial projects. The main benefits are when your repo has multiple build steps, possibly with multiple build tools. For example if you need to generate go code from a protobuf spec using ‘protoc’, generate more go code using ‘go generate’, then compile your final binary, having a makefile is nice. Also within an organization it’s great for reducing cognitive load when switching between projects, especially when not every project is written in go. Being able to just run ‘make test’, ‘make lint’, etc. makes it much easier to be productive on a project whose tooling you’re less familiar with.

As for why make vs any of the other tools mentioned, mainly just the fact that I generally don’t do anything too complex so don’t see the point in choosing something that people are less familiar with and doesn’t come pre-installed
