Finally experiment in Go

Try/catch/finally in Go. This is an experiment that tries to bring the exception behaviour of java/python/c++ to Golang using the same syntax. - manucorporat/try

This is an experimental Go library that implements try/catch/finally exception handling using syntax similar to Java, Python, and C++. It allows Go developers to use traditional exception handling patterns rather than… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

Gonzo – A Go-based TUI for log analysis (OpenTelemetry/OTLP support)▲74
We built Gonzo to make log analysis faster and friendlier in the terminal. Think of it like k9s for logs — a TUI that can ingest JSON, text, or OpenTelemetry (OTLP) logs, highlight and boil up patterns, and even run AI models locally or via API to summarize logs. We’re still iterating, so ideas and contributions are welcome!

AGL a toy language that compiles to Go▲83
I spent the past 2 weeks making this toy programming language. I basically forked the Go scanner/parser, and changed the syntax to have functions return a single value. This enable proper Result/Option type to be used as well as propagating errors with an operator. I also wanted to have short "type inferred" anonymous functions to be able to use functions like Map/Reduce/Filter, without having to use 100 characters to specify the types.

Should – Expressive Assertions for Go▲8
A few months ago I posted this here. Since then I've added a bunch of new assertions: BeSorted, BeSameTime, BeWithin, BeError/BeErrorIs/BeErrorAs, formatted custom messages, and some renames for clarity. The core idea is still the same — when a test fails, you should immediately know why without having to add debug prints. https://github.com/Kairum-Labs/should
