🎂 [Go Turns Sixteen Years Old](https://go.dev/blog/16years) — Go was open sourced sixteen years ago, and there’s much to be excited about in both the recent past and the near future. Austin gives a mini ‘state of Go’ in this post covering core language and library improvements, as well as some exciting DX and MCP-related changes that will keep Gophers happy and productive. _“Go has an exciting year ahead of it,”_ Austin concludes.

[Context-Aware Dialer Methods Coming to Go 1.26](https://antonz.org/accepted/net-dialer-context/) — First proposed four years ago, context-aware, network-specific methods are coming to `net.Dialer` in early 2026. Anton looks at how they’ll work and why you might want to use them (for cancellation – which you might currently use `DialContext`for).

[Wave Terminal: 'AI-Native' Open Source Go-Powered Terminal App](https://www.waveterm.dev/) — Available for MacOS, Linux, and Windows, Wave integrates features like file previews, file editing, browsing, working with remote files and machines, and the like.

[Guts: Convert Go Types to TypeScript](https://github.com/coder/guts) — A code generation tool (that you use as a library, however) that can convert Go types to TypeScript so you can get consistent types across the frontend and backend of a full-stack app, say. Could be a good fit if you don’t need something as broad as [TypeSpec](https://typespec.io/) or OpenAPI, say.

💡 [tscriptify](https://github.com/tkrajina/typescriptify-golang-structs) is also an option if you'd prefer a pure CLI tool. Or, perhaps, [Tygo](https://github.com/gzuidhof/tygo) for the best of both worlds (CLI tool _and_library).  

[goquery v1.11: jQuery-Like HTML/DOM Manipulation Methods](https://github.com/PuerkitoBio/goquery) — An approach for working with HTML and CSS from Go that tries to stick closely to the jQuery way of doing things.

[Scriggo: Template Engine and Go Embeddable Interpreter](https://scriggo.com/) — If you’re familiar with something like ERB in Ruby/Rails, this is a similar idea in a Go flavor and lets you use Go to script things with templates (and said templates can be changed on the fly and operate without being recompiled).
