Description
Dave Cheney's blog, subtitled The acme of foolishness, is a long-running collection of writing about the Go programming language. Posts range from deep dives into the compiler and runtime, such as how Go 1.16 changed heap allocation size classes and how diamond interface composition works in Go 1.14, to short pop quizzes about defer and pointer comparisons. The site also hosts two larger resources, Practical Go, a guide to writing maintainable Go programs, and the High Performance Go workshop on optimization. New posts are infrequent now, the latest being from late 2025, but the archive is still widely referenced. A valuable read for Go developers who want to understand why idiomatic Go looks the way it does.
