The podcast explores the suitability of Go for prototyping and the qualities that make a language prototypable. The speakers discuss individual prototyping, the rest of the stack, and whether Go is a great prototyping tool. They also touch on bad considerations, the fluency of prototypes, and the potential impact of space radiation.

Go Time podcast discusses what's new in Go 1.21, including the addition of generics, tool improvements, and new built-ins. They explore the benefits of Go's access to Web Assembly for plugin systems and compare XML and YAML as configuration formats. The hosts also discuss minor changes in Go, opportunities for contributing to the Go project, and future plans for Go 1.22.

So, do we like generics or not? Some people feared they’d be the end of the language. Others were very hopeful, and had clear use cases, and were thrilled about the feature coming to the language. It was also often touted as the reason a lot of people didn’t adopt Go. So what do we think now? Mat and Kris are joined by Roger Peppe and Bryan Boreham to discuss the state of Generics in Go.

The Go ecosystem has a hoard of tools and editors for Gophers to choose from and it can be difficult to find ones that are a good fit for each individual. In this episode, we discuss what tools and editors we’re using, the ones we wish existed, how we go about finding new ones, and why we sometimes choose to write our own tools.

Listener Joe Davidson recently tweeted: “I’d really be interested in an episode debating Kubernetes vs serverless functions for distributed systems. As someone working a lot with serverless to create large scale systems, for me the complexity in Kubernetes doesn’t seem worth it, especially when onboarding new people. But I’d like to see it from the other perspectives. I could be missing something.” So we invited Joe on the show alongside Abdel Sghiouar and Srdjan Petrovic to discuss!
