Whenever I write go, I immediately miss Some, Result, and ? from rust. And as my main project is written in go, I miss these things often.

This is maybe not Graphviz-quality rendering and layout calculation, but it's pretty good for a beta release, without 30 years of Graphviz headstart 🙂

I think I'm ready to integrate native rendering without dot as an optional parameter. Not perfect, but also not risking indignity at this point.

UPDATE: fsm-toolkit

New in the FSM toolkit:

https://github.com/ha1tch/fsm-toolkit

• Code generation — export your state machines to C, Rust, or Go (TinyGo compatible). Zero dependencies, embedded-friendly.

• fsm analyse — catches unreachable states, dead ends, non-determinism, and unused symbols before they bite you.

• Editor improvements — undo/redo (Ctrl+Z/Y), toggle wires with W, states always visible over arcs, parallel transitions no longer overlap.

• Quick image export — fsm png / fsm svg without piping through dot.

Still a compact hex format at heart that fits in your head!

#introduction

Heya folks! 👋

My name is Sophia, I work as a software developer in Germany.

This is my #tech account, so I'll focus on #Vim #NeoVim, command-line tools, #TypeScript, front-end #WebDevelopment.
Other accounts 👉 please see my bio.

I love to try out different programming languages like #GoLang, #Rust, #Elixir, #Nim, #OCaml, etc.

In my free time I enjoy reading, playing pen & paper RPGs #ttrpg or learning new languages like #Esperanto.

#angular #react #go

Hey, are you a conversant #GoLang software engineer? Know Postgres? Want to work with some very cool cutting edge infosec tech?

@runZeroIncrunZero, Inc would like to talk to you.

Start here: https://www.runzero.com/about/careers/apply/?gh_jid=5620946004

Competitive pay, amazing benefits, 100% remote, US-based.

So without making a conscious choice I've been using and loving some excellent Go-lang software: #Hugo, #GoToSocial, and #Readeck. I don't know Go but I've picked up some templating from customizing Hugo, is it time I learned more? Let's Go (blog post)!

Nothing I am going to make with Go can't just as easily be slopped together and probably better, but learning things with your own brain is punk AF!

P.S. If any #Emacs folks have a nice configuration for #Go using vertico/consult/corfu and friends, please let me steal liberate your config.

Update: I was pointed to this great video made by @skybertTorstein Krause Johansen for #GoLang in Emacs (linked config).

So far, I spend most of my vacation checking off items from my long list of things I wanted to build. Most of it are „internal“ CLI tools I use at home or small experiments with activity pub.

Most of it is done using #golang instead my usual choice #python. I like the experience a lot.

One thing I needed was a small tool to scaffold projects based on template repositories. I started using `gonew` and ended up writing my own little tool `gohatch`.

Hey Mastodon! Here's a very late #introduction.

I'm Josh - a software engineer and senior architect working in the more "traditional" finance industry (meaning *not crypto*).

I've shipped code in #ruby, #golang, #java, #kotlin, #javascript, and #csharp, but these days I mostly spend my time helping other folks get stuff shipped.

I play games, read a lot, and occasionally write and release half-baked open-source software. I am deeply jealous of people who can draw or paint.

이제 C#에서도 Go(Golang)처럼 간결하고 강력한 네이티브 바이너리를 만드는 시대가 되었습니다. 복잡한 빌드 스크립트나 환경 설정은 더 이상 필요 없습니다. 제가 만든 SDK를 사용하면, 단 한 줄로 모든 준비가 끝납니다.

I moved here a week ago: Time for a proper #introduction.

Hello, I’m Ernesto, an electrical engineer turned software developer from Bolivia.

I was introduced to #Linux in 1994 and have been using it daily since then.

I’m currently helping create and maintain a free/open source radio automation suite for community radios: https://aura.radio

I like to use and learn from free/open source software and I enjoy writing software in #Python and #Golang but I also like coffee and pizza.

#golang

My fork of the #Mastodon digest has accumulated enough new features that I'm getting antsy of writing #Python, which is what the original is written in. I’m thinking of a rewriting it, but I'm conflicted between using #Haskell, which is my comfort language, #Golang, which may be easier for others to contribute to, and #Rust, which I want to learn.

The program involves fetching a bunch of #JSON data from the internet, doing some statistical calculations on that data, and then outputting an HTML page.

What do you think I should rewrite it in? #Programming #poll

I documented how to send HTTP requests with #golang
https://0x1eef.github.io/posts/how-to-make-http-requests-in-go/

If there is complete. go-to abstraction package (like clap), I prefer #rust mostly because of its type system. I like embedding the logic under types. If the ecosystem is not mature enough, I prefer #golang because it's suited to situation with less abstractions so I can develop fast.

I suppose I should do an #introduction. I'm a software engineer, programming as a hobby since 2004 and professionally since 2016. I've done a bunch of #python, #rust, and #golang. Learning #electronics and #fpga. I'm interested in the lower levels of stack. My career was in #biomedical devices, and I now work in #space tech. Desktop #linux user since 2004. Father of a small one. Done #jujitsu for mad days. Enjoy #retrogaming, #retrocomputing, and #misterfpga. Glad to be here with y'all.

we're slowly knocking off the remaining bugs with radar-api-go (#Golang bindings for #Radar). it seems quite stable now, anyone could use it for scripting / glueing events elsewhere without much trouble. there are a tonne of examples in the docs for getting going https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/goapunk/radar-api-go

Did any #Go developers need code to get a zero value of a struct but without knowing the layout of the struct itself?

The only thing I could come up with was:

func zero[T any](v T) T {
z := &v
zz := reflect.ValueOf(z).Elem()
zz.Set(reflect.Zero(reflect.TypeOf(v)))
return *z
}

And see here an example of usage: https://go.dev/play/p/Aqzc_nRzOcP

I needed it in order to get zero copies of random structs so I could test that some marshal/unmarshal functionality is a bijection.

Is this a decent way to do it? Are there alternatives?

#golang

From The OpenBSD Guy:
"In this video, I walk through how to build LiteIDE on OpenBSD for Go (#Golang) development.

Thanks to the absence of Electron, #LiteIDE uses Qt and is built with portability in mind, which makes compiling and running it on #OpenBSD surprisingly simple. Just a couple of small tweaks and you’re good to Go!

There’s also a quick rant about Electron and what "portability" really means 😅"

This wasn't mentioned yesterday, because I thought it was implied, but this work being done under the #NLNet aegis, the completion of any of the milestones I have planned will bring a monetary remuneration.

#go #golang #ActivityPub #developers

On this topic, calling all #Go #developers interested in lending a hand.

I have two major goals for increasing the unit-test coverage in the individual packages that #GoActivityPub is comprised of.

These are tasks that are very accessible even for people new to the #ActivityPub spec and I would prefer to support new developers that want to give it a try than wait until I have time to do them myself.

The only requirement I have is that if you want to help, you already have some public Go projects that I can have a look at.

Point of contact is on this email (after you "deobfuscate" it): goap＠federated·id

#Go #Golang #developers #helpwanted #NLNet #ngi0

Apparently #GoLang's flag module is "special" and doesn't allow specifying multiple flags together.

Works: imapgoose -i -v
Doesn't work: imapgoose -iv

Just one more of those little details where Go like to be special and incompatible in ridiculous ways.

Hey #fediverse, I want to connect to more people here.

I am a #MachineLearning engineer who has experience with #python, #golang, #php, #JavaScript, some #rust, C & C++. I also love research and have a paper published in #CVPR. Currently, I am using #AI for improving the safety on the roads. I've worked as full-stack engineer in the past.

I find this platform and people here awesome. I've had amazing interactions and want to grow them.
