nativewebp
https://github.com/HugoSmits86/nativewebp
This is a native WebP encoder written entirely in Go, with no dependencies on libwebp or other external libraries. Designed for performance and efficiency, this encoder generates smaller files than the standard Go PNG encoder and is approximately 50% faster in execution.
Currently, the encoder supports only WebP lossless images (VP8L).

Pure vs. impure iterators in Go
https://jub0bs.com/posts/2025-05-29-pure-vs-impure-iterators-in-go/
TL;DR
- Go has now standardised iterators.
- Iterators are powerful.
- Being functions under the hood, iterators can be closures.
- The classification of iterators suggested by the documentation is ambiguous.
- Dividing iterators into two categories, “pure” and “impure”, seems to me preferrable.
- Whether iterators should be designed as “pure” whenever possible is unclear.

A JavaScript Developer's Guide to Go
https://prateeksurana.me/blog/guide-to-go-for-javascript-developers
After spending five years as a JavaScript developer building both frontend and backend systems, I spent the last year transitioning to Go for server-side code. During that time I couldn't help but notice the differences between syntax, fundamentals, practices, and runtime environments between the languages and the effects they had on actual runtime performance and developer productivity.

Cool Golang slog.Logger tricks
https://djwong.net/2025/05/28/cool-go-slog-tricks.html
For years in Go, I’ve used many different logging libraries, from logrus to zap. After the release of slog into Go standard library, I immediately embraced it. It’s clever design made it so versatile and easy to use, and has already accumulated an enormous amount of libraries in the ecosystem.

Cross-compiling C and Go via cgo with Bazel
https://popovicu.com/posts/cross-compile-cgo-bazel/
Go offers an exceptional language and an impressive ecosystem of tools. However, it presents a notable challenge when integrating with C code via cgo. While building and distributing pure Go binaries across various platforms is straightforward — often requiring just a few parameter adjustments — the process becomes considerably more complex when C dependencies are introduced.

Go should be more opinionated
TL;DR:
The author argues that Go should provide more opinionated guidance on application structure and project layout. While Go excels at having "one way to do things" for language features (formatting, loops, etc.), it lacks official guidance for organizing larger projects.
Key points:
- Go's simplicity makes it easy to learn, but structuring real-world projects becomes challenging
- Teams spend significant time researching and deciding on project structure
- Official templates for common patterns (CLIs, APIs, microservices) would help
- Similar to how
- Would especially benefit teams migrating from opinionated frameworks like Spring Boot or Laravel
Bottom line: Go needs official project scaffolding tools (like
