**Aaron Schlesinger:** Yeah.
**Erik St. Martin:** I definitely want to dig into it more. I read part of it, and then I got caught up and I didn't finish reading the article, I'll be honest, but it looked really cool.
Alright, so I think we are about out of time... Oh, the other thing - anybody who was not at Golang UK - the videos are out, which is awesome. I've got more videos to watch, even though I haven't yet made the time to watch all the videos from GopherCon... And we're, how many months later? \[laughter\]
**Brian Ketelsen:** It is what it is...
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, we're still waiting for more to be released, too... But yeah, we need more time.
**Carlisia Thompson:** Talking about the videos from GopherCon, there is one particular video that everybody is in awe with. It was a talk by Liz Rice. She basically did a container in Go live, in her presentation.
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, that was a really great talk.
**Aaron Schlesinger:** I loved that. That was so cool. If I'm not mistaken, I think Jessie Frazelle started a repo that implemented this proof of concept where Go could build a containerized version of its own binary.
**Brian Ketelsen:** Wow...
**Aaron Schlesinger:** Yeah. It's containers all the way down, man...
**Brian Ketelsen:** Inception!
**Aaron Schlesinger:** Yeah.
**Erik St. Martin:** I still like that -- what's the name of that project, the Unikernel one, where you basically could turn your Go app into a Unikernel?
**Aaron Schlesinger:** Oh, that's cool...
**Erik St. Martin:** I can't remember what that was. It's alright... Adam says we have 12 minutes left of the show, so I can sit here for 12 minutes and think about it. \[laughter\]
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, I don't remember what it is... And I should!
**Erik St. Martin:** I wish I had the opportunity to watch some of the Golang UK videos so that I could make some recommendations, but I just noticed that they were out earlier today or last night.
**Brian Ketelsen:** I watched Liz's because Dave Cheney sent out a tweet that says, "Everybody drop what you're doing and watch this." And when Dave talks, people listen. \[laughter\] So I did.
**Erik St. Martin:** Unfortunately, I didn't see the tweet... Otherwise I would have listened, too.
**Brian Ketelsen:** You see, you should have stopped what you were doing, because Dave said so!
**Erik St. Martin:** Somebody needs to go out and tell the rest of the troops.
**Brian Ketelsen:** \[47:58\] I retweeted it, isn't that enough?
**Carlisia Thompson:** Yeah, Erik, everybody retweeted it. \[laughter\]
**Erik St. Martin:** Apparently, I've been absent from Twitter...
**Carlisia Thompson:** I don't know where you were.
**Brian Ketelsen:** It was one of my most proud Twitter moments too, because I tweeted at Liz and I said, "We're watching for you at GopherCon next year, Liz", and I misspelled GopherCon... And boy, did I catch hell for that!
**Erik St. Martin:** Oh, I remember seeing that!
**Brian Ketelsen:** Of all the people in the world who should be misspelling GopherCon... \[sighs\] That gets the heavy sigh.
**Erik St. Martin:** So being we're gonna run an hour for this episode, we've got a few more minutes. Another cool project that I saw was vuls, which is a vulnerability scanner written in Go. This is actually kind of cool; it seems like the infosec world is adopting Go for more and more things... There is this one, Moz...
Speaking of episodes being out, last week's out is live, for anybody who's listening right now. This one will be out in a week. We are finally caught up on time, so we will record one episode and we will release the week prior, every week from now on, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
Anything else anybody wants to talk about? We can start getting into some \#FreeSoftwareFriday?
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, I think it's \#FreeSoftwareFriday time.
**Erik St. Martin:** Alright.
**Brian Ketelsen:** I'll kick it off, because I love kicking it off. It's my thing. I've been reading Ben Johnson's blog posts, and I don't know if anybody's seen that WTF dial app that he's been doing, but it reminded me that BoltDB is a lot more awesome than people give it credit for. He wrote a nice justification ab...
**Erik St. Martin:** Alright, who's up next? Carlisia?
**Carlisia Thompson:** I can go next. I want to give a shout out to Api2Go. It's a project in Go, and it's for the use case where you want to implement a RESTful API, and if you want your responses...
**Brian Ketelsen:** The JSONAPI spec?
**Carlisia Thompson:** Yes. If you want your requests and responses to conform to the JSONAPI spec, this will facilitate your life. It will let you do stuff by hand, if you want to just use the minimum interface that they have. But they have some interfaces that if you implement them, it will automatically map your rou...
**Erik St. Martin:** How do you guys keep up with all of these?
**Brian Ketelsen:** We don't...
**Erik St. Martin:** Does anybody have a running count of the number of REST frameworks?
**Brian Ketelsen:** I bet I've tried them all... \[laughs\] I'm willing to put money on that.
**Erik St. Martin:** I have not seen this one yet.
**Carlisia Thompson:** Oh, there are so many.
**Aaron Schlesinger:** \[52:03\] Does anyone know how many are in Awesome-Go?
**Erik St. Martin:** I need to look at Awesome-Go more often... It's been a while. It's probably been a couple of months since I've looked at Awesome-Go to see if anything new is there. But it's so big now, how would you even know? You need to export it and do a diff...
**Brian Ketelsen:** My problem is that Awesome-Go is -- I don't think it's that curated. I think it's more, "Here's a pull request, and we've accepted it." And does their definition of awesome meet my definition of awesome? I don't think it does.
**Erik St. Martin:** But that begs the question, "Does it make sense to have some canonical place to look for these things?" And then you switch to them and decide which ones you like. Although it's hard to tell what the adoption rate of one is versus another.
**Brian Ketelsen:** So you could do something like npm search?
**Aaron Schlesinger:** Oh man, that's a great segue into some \#FreeSoftwareFriday I wanted to mention.
