Go | Notes

What Go optimises for, how it does OO without classes, and the idioms that follow.

Structs, methods, implicit interfaces, embedding and generics.

Errors as values: sentinels, wrapping, errors.Is/As, defer, panic and recover.

Goroutines, channels, select, context, mutexes and common patterns.

net/http routing, middleware, slog, go:embed, config and pprof without a framework.

The go command as build tool, formatter and linter; cross-compiling and container images.

go test, table-driven tests, fakes, httptest, testcontainers, Playwright, benchmarks, fuzzing and pprof.

Things that compile fine in your head but not in Go, or compile and surprise you.

Per-tag gin server scaffolding from an OpenAPI spec using oapi-codegen and a custom splitter.
