What it does

tl;dr: with Go 1.5 you can build .so objects and import them as Python modules, running Go code (instead of C) directly from Python. Here’s the code . The Go 1.5 release brings a number of nifty changes . The one we will be playing with today is the ability of the standard toolchain to build libraries ( .so , .a ) exporting a C ABI . (This is just one of an exciting series of new and planned buildmodes .) The ABI is the low-level binary interface that functions employ to call each other. It standardizes things like where and how to pass arguments and return values, what happens to CPU registries, etc. It’s needed so that for example shared libraries ( .so objects) built by one…from blog.filippo.io

    Hey HN, I’m Jimmy, co-founder of Dropbase (https://www.dropbase.io). We are an internal tools builder for Python developers. All you have to do is import any Python scripts/libraries, declare UI components, and layer app permissions so you can share them with others. We’re a middle ground between Airplane and Retool—simpler UI creation than Airplane, more code-centered than Retool. UI building is declarative and you can bind Python scripts/functions to UI components. You can write Python scripts/functions using our App Studio with support from a Python Language…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
