This time I review a piece of code by https://twitter.com/sandeepdinesh, from his repo https://github.com/thesandlord/logpipe
The program simply reads from standard input and sends each line both to standard output and a logging service.

Proposal: A built-in Go error check function, try #errors

Wed, 05 Jun 2019 05:52:00 +0000

We propose a new built-in function called try, designed specifically to eliminate the boilerplate if statements typically associated with error handling in Go. No other language changes are suggested. We advocate using the existing defer statement and standard library functions to help with augmenting or wrapping of errors. This minimal approach addresses most common scenarios while adding very little complexity to the language. The try built-in is easy to explain, straightforward to implement, orthogonal to other language constructs, and fully backward-compatible. It also leaves open a path to extending the mechanism, should we wish to do so in the future.

On generics in Go #generics

Mon, 09 Jan 2017 22:14:00 +0000

By Ian Lance Taylor. Go should support some form of generic programming. Generic programming enables the representation of algorithms and data structures in a generic form, with concrete elements of the code (such as types) factored out. It means the ability to express algorithms with minimal assumptions about data structures, and vice-versa 12 points posted by kenny

The Design of the Go Garbage Collector #language

Fri, 12 Oct 2018 08:28:00 +0000

Hi, I am Okada(@ocadaruma), a member of the LINE Ads Platform team. I've been interested in Go's GC (Garbage Collection or Garbage Collector) for a while, which got me even to write a post about it. Go is a programming language developed by Google and supports garbage collection. Go also supports concurrency through channels. Many companies, including Google, are using Go, and LINE also uses Go for developing tools and services.

nacl - a pure Go implementation of the NaCL set of API's

Fri, 21 Jul 2017 20:57:00 +0000

This is a pure Go implementation of the API's available in NaCL: https://nacl.cr.yp.to. Compared with the implementation in golang.org/x/crypto/nacl, this library offers all of the API's present in NaCL, better compatibility with NaCL implementations written in other languages, as well as some utilities for generating and loading keys and nonces, and encrypting messages.

Many of them are simple wrappers around functions or libraries available in the Go standard library, or in the golang.org/x/crypto package. Other code I copied directly into this library with the appropriate LICENSE; if a function is longer than, say, 5 lines, I didn't write it myself. There are no dependencies outside of the standard library or golang.org/x/crypto.

Principles of designing go apis with channels

Tue, 28 Feb 2017 05:51:00 +0000

Channels are concurrent-safe queues that are used to safely pass messages between Go’s lightweight processes (goroutines). Together, these primitives are some of the most popularly touted features of the Go programming language. The message-passing style they encourage permits the programmer to safely coordinate multiple concurrent tasks with easy-to-reason-about semantics and control flow that often trumps the use of callbacks or shared memory. 7 points posted by kenny

A minimalistic 12 factor log router written in Go #routers

Tue, 14 Feb 2017 13:43:00 +0000

The 12 factor rule for logging says that an app "should not attempt to write to or manage logfiles. Instead, each running process writes its event stream, unbuffered, to stdout." The execution environment should take care of capturing the logs and perform further processing with it. Funnel is meant to be a replacement for your app's "logger + logrotate" pipeline. Think of it as a fluentd/logstash replacement(with minimal features!) but having only stdin as an input. All you need to do is just print to stdout and pipe it to funnel. And let it take care of the rest. 7 points posted by gopher

Why do we need the sync atomic package?

Sat, 06 Jan 2018 11:12:00 +0000

If aligned memory writes are atomic, why do we need the sync/atomic package?

This is a post inspired by a question on the Go Forum. The question, paraphrased, was “If properly aligned writes are guaranteed to be atomic by the processor, why does the race detector complain?”

Golang Pro: Interface Implementation

Go’s automagic interface implementation is simply amazing. The number one reason we love it is because it saves us from dependency hell.

How Interfaces Work in Golang

Unlike most languages, interfaces in Golang are implemented automatically by structs that match the interface definition. Here’s a simple example. Notice the distinct lack of the implements keyword on the Dog and Cat struct.

Proposal: Register-based Go calling convention

Fri, 14 Aug 2020 16:52:00 +0000

We propose switching the Go ABI from its current stack-based calling convention to a register-based calling convention. Preliminary experiments indicate this will achieve at least a 5–10% throughput improvement across a range of applications. This will remain backwards compatible with existing assembly code that assumes Go’s current stack-based calling convention through Go’s multiple ABI mechanism. 5 points posted by kenny
