A new experimental Go API for JSON - The Go Programming Language Go 1.25 introduces experimental support for encoding/json/jsontext and encoding/json/v2 packages.

The #Golang project is working on modernizing JSON handling in the standard library. Less ambiguity, better error handling, and faster. Available now as an experimental feature. go.dev/blog/jsonv2-...

PerfInsights: Detecting Performance Optimization Opportunities in Go Code using Generative AI At Uber, back-end service efficiency directly influences operational costs and user experience. In March 2024 alone, the top 10 Go services accounted for more than multi-million dollars in compute spend alone —an unsustainable amount that underscored the need for systematic performance tuning. Traditionally, optimizing Go services has required deep expertise and significant manual effort. Profiling, benchmarking, and analyzing code could take days or even weeks. Performance tuning is prohibitively expensive and non-trivial for most teams. PerfInsights was born as an Uber Hackdayz 2024 finalist and has since evolved into a production-ready system that automatically detects performance antipatterns in Go services. It uses runtime CPU and memory profiles with GenAI-powered static analysis to pinpoint expensive hotpath functions and recommend optimizations.

#Uber has an AI pipeline to find performance optimizations in their #Golang code. They use profiling to id hot paths then run a two phase LLM stack to optimize and validate fixes. Some impressive stats on time and developer effort saved. www.uber.com/blog/perfins...

Go's race detector has a mutex blind spot Go's data race detector can miss possible races in executed code when using mutexes

Interesting #Golang race detector edge case where it sometimes fails to detect a race when a mutex is involved. Basically a reminder to give your lock usage extra attention when checking for possible races. doublefree.dev/go-race-mute...
