aerfio··on Fast Shadow Stacks for Go
Do you think/know of any areas in Go codebase that would enable jump in performance bigger than e.g 10%? I'm very grateful for any work done in Go codebase, for me this language is plenty fast, I'm just curious what's the state of Go internals, are there any techniques left to speed it up significantly or some parts of codebase/old architectures holding it back? And thank you for your work!
aerfio··on HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 explained
I don't really see how one leads to another, could you elaborate? Looking at these protocols, it seems to me that later versions of HTTP attempt to address errors resulting from the overly simplistic design of HTTP/1.1.
aerfio··on Pkl, a Programming Language for Configuration
You should rather look at go.mod file, and it doesn't look bloated at all. They could maybe drop cobra and use something with less dependencies, they use pflag package already so maybse use only that, but uhh I've seen much, much worse worse, as a daily Go user I'd say it's fine

aerfio··on Wolfi: A community Linux OS designed for the container and cloud-native era
Do you see any significant changes in comparison to the "gcr.io/distroless/static" image, which is commonly used in Go ecosystem? Thanks for answer btw, really appreciate that.

From my side I'd love to see clear comparison to distroless[1] images, the best info I could find was this Github issue comment[2], although I would expect to find it in https://github.com/wolfi-dev#faq. Or maybe my google-fu failed me :(

aerfio··on Humans aren’t mentally ready for an AI-saturated ‘post-truth world’
For me it's insane that some people "talk" to themselves in their heads, expressing your ideas as words seems so slow in comparison to "thinking in ideas"

> Go is easy to learn but then the capability of it plateaus.

Given that almost every cloud native project is written in Go I'd say this is entirely not true.
