A meetup group to discuss the Go Programming Language.
(from golang.org)
The Go programming language is an open source project to make programmers more productive. Go is expressive, concise, clean, and efficient. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, while its novel type system enables flexible and modular program construction. Go compiles quickly to machine code yet has the convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection. It's a fast, statically typed, compiled language that feels like a dynamically typed, interpreted language.

1. Zdenek Brabec (Pure) - What is new in Go 1.25
Go 1.25 has arrived! In this session, we’ll cover all the significant upgrades you need to know, including improvements in the tools, runtime, compiler, linker, and standard library. Key new items include:
- A new experimental garbage collector, available for opt-in use. go.dev
- A new encoding/json/v2 package, also experimental, for better JSON handling. go.dev
- The addition of one entirely new package as part of the standard library. go.dev
- Updates and changes to GODEBUG settings, as well as port-specific enhancements. go.dev
We’ll not only look at what changed, but also explore why these changes matter, how they affect real-world Go development, and where you can try out the experimental features and give feedback.
2. Mila Nguyen (STRV) - Catch Me If You Can: Monitoring Go Services in AWS
Production bugs are like criminals — they leave traces, but only if you know where to look. In this talk, we’ll don our detective hats and instrument a Go backend service running on AWS. We’ll cover setting up error tracking, performance dashboards and database profiling. By the end, you’ll be ready to catch tricky issues in the act instead of being blindsided.
3. Vilibald Wanca - First talk from new cycle about good practices and patterns in Go
