News website to read the latest news about Go?

3 years ago by prwnr to c/golang

Are there any websites, newsletters or RSS feeds that you could redo to read/subscribe to get the latest news about Go and everything around it? Like, not only about releases of new versions of the language itself, but also about trends around it.

Is there anything like that?

I am hoping this is the place.. For me it used to be a site that startsWith("r") and endsWith("dit")

I try to subscribe to feeds individually. Here's a selection from my feed reader:

Russ Cox (Go tech lead) https://research.swtch.com/
Tailscale (employs some very good Go programmers) https://tailscale.com/blog/
Ben Hoyt (interesting tech writing, often Go) https://benhoyt.com/writings

Not as many as I'd like, actually, after a quick scan!

Another thing to keep in mind is that Go, as a language, is quite stable now. There's nowhere near the amout of churn as, say, node.js. So I don't think there are many Go-specific trends to follow as much as there are general tech/industry trends where Go may be useful.

Thank you for those three feeds, subscribed to all of them for a reads. Will go through their past posts as well, as I didn't know any of them.

I have these in my RSS feeds. The one from golangweekly puts its full articles in the feed (but thier articles are links with short summaries. The other two only have summaries or maybe just links in thier feeds (I'm not sure which, as I have liferea configured to automatically follow the links.)

Not exactly static text, but https://discord.gg/golang on Discord is pretty busy.
