What are some examples? I've always thought of Go as a server-side language.

I built Homechart using Go and documented why/how here: https://homechart.app/blog/tech-stack-api/

I really loved your blog post. Also, your site is an interesting combination of bold, clean and simple. Really well done.

fzf, hub, syncthing. Possibly also scc if for some reason you're not running tokei or loc.

Maybe also frp and hugo.

Gitea and Hugo come to immediate mind. I thought there was a game framework that used Go as well (which I can't find at the moment).

As a .NET guy, I've actually started looking for tools built in Go since I know they'll be easy to run across the platforms I use, without extra dependencies.

Game framework you may be thinking of is called ebitengine.

.NET applications can be built as a single static binary, although IME it's usually much heavier than a Go alternative.

I also exclusively host dotnet applications on Linux (and also develop them there), and it works just fine.

Oh I know, and I'll develop in .NET if I want to build something for Windows/Mac/Linux. (Similarly I've been hosting personal dotnet applications in Linux, although I've been building them on Windows/Mac. As someone who started back in .NET 2.0, it's amazing.)

But if I'm looking for a tool someone else built, .NET options are usually pretty slim.

Docker and corresponding tools.

And many others, really.

Neither sound like "applications I really enjoy". More like applications you suffer.

> And many others, really.

How about examples?

Sorry, I'm not here to tease or please you.

I'm pretty sure you can use google or github search to look for popular Go based projects and try them out.

So you replied to a comment asking for examples, without examples, because... your life passion is to be an ass?

No, I replied with examples that you personally find invalid for your personal reason.

And I'm not eager to bruteforce the "right answer".

Well, how about Kubernetes?

To update an old saw, Kubernetes is proof you can write Java in any language.

lazygit (https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit) is great!

Caddy, Gotify, Photoprism
