What is this?

This site is a planet - while this term has fallen out of use somewhat, it used to mean a page aggregating many news sources pertaining to a single topic. A good example of a similar concept is Planet Haskell or Planet Python.

Planet Golang is of course dedicated to the Go programming language.

The most important thing - this isn't a newsletter, or a curated collection. It's anything and everything Go-related, for your browsing convenience.

Since September 2023 the site is maintained by Tomáš Urbanec. It was developed and up to August 2023 also maintained by Paweł J. Wal.
