**Erik St. Martin:** There is now the Go LibHunt. It's go.libhunt.com, and you can basically browse around, categorize projects and libraries in Go, and then kind of rank them. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** You know, just because somebody lists a bunch of libraries in Go does not replace my curation, Erik. \[laughter\] The added value that I bring every week to the curation of cool projects is what's important here. You cannot replace me with a bash script. |
**Erik St. Martin:** We can try. \[laughter\] |
**Sarah Adams:** Brian, what's your process? How do you find the Go projects? |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Before I go to bed every night I look at the GoLang Reddit thing just to see if there's anything interesting there; I don't get a lot out of Reddit these days, but I have a special query on GitHub that I use to see recently updated or recently created Go projects, and I just scan through them, looki... |
**Erik St. Martin:** And that query can be yours for just three easy payments of 59,90. \[laughter\] |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Exactly. And actually I'd be happy to post that query in the show notes too, because there's nothing magic to it; it's just a really long GitHub query. |
**Sarah Adams:** I had an app - it wasn't called StumbleUpon, but it was something like that and it acts like StumbleUpon, where you can look through and you can filter. It's like a Go project library, but it looks through GitHub and helps you stumble upon Go projects that are relatively popular. It was pretty cool. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** That's nice. All of those queries are prone to error, because if GitHub's detection of the project type isn't accurate because maybe you don't have any Go files in the route - or whatever they use to detect the projects - they might be excluded. |
**Sarah Adams:** Is that common? |
**Brian Ketelsen:** It is. I've seen projects that don't list themselves as the primary language that they are just because whatever GitHub uses to detect that was thwarted by maybe their directory layout, or whatever. |
**Erik St. Martin:** I'm not sure how that detection works. I mean, what percentage of the codebase is in what... Because if you had, say, [Grafana](https://grafana.com/) that's a bunch of Go, but it's a whole lot of web stuff too, HTML, CSS and JavaScript too, so is there more of one than the other, then does that cau... |
**Carlisia Thompson:** I have always wondered that too, if somebody knows, please... |
**Sarah Adams:** You can also specify when you're creating a repo what language the project is. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Really? |
**Sarah Adams:** Well, I think it just helps you then generate the git-ignore. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** I've never seen that. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Interesting. |
**Sarah Adams:** But I'm not sure if they keep that data... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, I wonder if they store that as metadata. I've never done that specifically, so I don't know. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Like Sarah said, I think I've only used it once just to generate the git-ignore. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** So now that Erik has tried to replace me with a website... \[laughter\] |
**Erik St. Martin:** The pressure is on... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, the next segment of our show is where we each talk about interesting Go projects that we perhaps stumbled upon in the past week. I'll start, since I'm bringing the most value here - I'm really angry with you Erik now, this isn't gonna fly... So the thing I found this week that I thought was re... |
**Erik St. Martin:** So I will go next. I saw this a while back, and I think it was really in its infancy, which is Lime Text, which is like a Sublime Text clone, but written in Go, and it's actually been coming along quite well. I was actually curious whether Carlisia had tried it, because I know you're a Sublime user... |
**Carlisia Thompson:** No, I'm not. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Oh, I thought you were a Sublime user. |
**Sarah Adams:** I use Sublime. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** I used it, but I've stopped using it long ago. |
**Sarah Adams:** And I haven't heard of Lime. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Have you checked it out, Sarah? |
**Sarah Adams:** No, I haven't. I'm looking at it right now. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, so this is actually pretty interesting. I mean, you can't get me away from Vim, but I feel like if you could, it might be Sublime, and this makes it kind of enticing, because if I wanted to modify the editor, I could actually do it in Go. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Well, it's interesting from another perspective, in that it's almost modeled on the Emacs and Neovim server and client model. So the Lime Text app has a backend, and then it can have multiple frontends. You could actually use a command line app to use Lime Text, or they've got a Qt-based editor for ... |
**Carlisia Thompson:** I do wanna check it out. Yeah, I'm an Atom user - I use it with the Vim plugin, but this looks cool. |
**Erik St. Martin:** I don't know why I thought you used Sublime, but now I remember Atom, because you did bring up a new set of plugins for Atom. It wasn't in the last episode, but the one before. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Yeah. All these editors look a lot the same in a lot of ways, so... |
**Erik St. Martin:** I can't keep up with all the new editors. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Sarah, do you have a Go project you wanted to mention? |
**Erik St. Martin:** Feel free to say no. |
**Sarah Adams:** No, I didn't prepare anything. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Yeah, so I'll go next. I found this HDR histogram, and it's not something I have used, but I can see myself using it. It keeps track of a simple count of basically incoming requests - a simple count of incoming requests that you have. You can specify what it is that you wanna look at over time. |
**Erik St. Martin:** So this is showing like a requests-per-second over time, or...? |
**Carlisia Thompson:** I think it's requests per seconds. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** I've used this package before, I think it's more generic than just requests per second. I think it's actually just a histogram package that you can use to collect metrics about any particular event, and then present them in a histogram. So a request per second is a great example of how you would use... |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Yeah, exactly. It looks like that. It's configurable. They have a Go version of this, and the way I found about it and why it's relevant is because I saw a talk by Gil Tene on Strange Loop from last year, and he was talking about how network graphs usually show us the 95 percentile of the worst r... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Will you put that link in the show notes? That sounds like a great talk. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Yes, I already did. There it is. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Perfect. |
**Erik St. Martin:** So Sarah, one project that we would love to hear you talk about is your Test2Doc. That's really cool. |
