- This mini-book provides a brief overview of many concurrency topics in Go. Each topic comes with interactive examples — feel free to experiment with them by changing the code and clicking Run. There's also a PDF version with static examples.This is a quick refresher on Go...

- Right now developer experience is measured in seconds. If your tests take a second to run, that’s good; if they take thirty seconds, that’s bad. Any faster than…

- Solod is a subset of Go that translates to regular C — with zero runtime, manual memory management, and source-level interop. It's designed for two main audiences:Go developers who want low-level control without having to learn another language.C developers who like Go's...

- I used an AI agent to make a big update to my GiftyWeddings.com website, taking it from a gift registry to a full website builder in 275 commits....
- Creating a subset of Go that translates to C (which I named Solod) was never my end goal. I liked writing C code with Go, but without the standard library it felt pretty limited. So the next logical step was to port Go's stdlib.At some point I decided to make as many packages as...

- Everyone is creating a new programming language these days, often one that's "like Go but with more features" or "like Rust but simpler".Solod, a systems language for C and Go developers, might look like one of those languages, but it takes a different approach.Go's toolingSolod...
- Go's standard library has a slices package with a function called Backward. It lets you iterate over the elements of a slice in reverse order:// Backward returns an iterator over index-value pairs in the slice, // traversing it backward with descending indices. func...

- Go's concurrency is one of the main reasons people like the language. You write go f(), send values through channels, and the runtime scheduler runs thousands of goroutines on just a few OS threads. It feels effortless.None of that machinery exists in C. Which made me wonder:...
- Over the past two years, I've published interactive tours for five Go releases, from 1.22 to 1.26.I know some of you have read them, and I've received a lot of kind words from you (even some core Go team members reached out) — thank you so much for that!Tour history: Go 1.22 •...

- When you start a new project, it feels nice that everything lives in a single main.go file. When things start to grow, you split things into multiple files. We will add tests later, right? Requirements change, someone joins the team, and in the meantime, you swapped SQLite for...
- April 2026 I’ve been having moderate success using an AI agent to help me fix non-trival bugs in GoAWK. But it’s sometimes very indecisive (Mitchell Hashimoto noted this in a tweet just the other day). I asked it the following question (I’m using Claude’s Opus 4.6 with the...

- Creating a subset of Go that translates to C was never my end goal. I liked writing C code with Go, but without the standard library it felt pretty limited. So, the next logical step was to port Go's stdlib to C.Of course, this isn't something I could do all at once. I started...
- What a month! After losing a job at the end of January, I started looking for a new one straight away. Seeking a new job nowadays is very different from how it used to be. Very long, multi-step and mentally draining processes are the new norm. The recent explosion of AI tools...

- I'm working on a new programming language named Solod (So). It's a strict subset of Go that translates to C, without hidden memory allocations and with source-level interop.Highlights:Go in, C out. You write regular Go code and get readable C11 as output.Zero runtime. No garbage...

- How many millions of times have you seen this pattern in Go where a variable is pre-created just to make a pointer to it down the line? There is a high chance your codebase includes a utility to do that. // Something like this a := 123 aPtr := &a // Or like this func Pointer[T...
- I’ve been exploring Go for building small, fast and self-contained binary applications recently. I’m enjoying how there’s generally one obvious way to do things and the resulting code is boring …

- Go has several ways of sending requests, including some convenient methods such as:http.Get()http.Head()http.Post()http.PostForm()However, these don’t let you add headers to requests! If you need customization of the HTTP method or headers, you need to use...
- Basic Usage of time.Sleep()You can use time.Sleep() to pause your program for a predetermined amount of time, similar to most programming languages.First, you should know that the time package has useful constants that allow you to conveniently specify time in units.1 2 3 4 5 6...
