Go Weekly issue #609 covers a range of Go ecosystem news. The headline topic is how Go powers a 10x speedup in TypeScript's compiler port, with a GopherCon 2025 talk by Microsoft's Jake Bailey going deep on the technical details. Other highlights include a proposal for `go run -c` one-liners discussed by Ian Lance Taylor and Rob Pike, a thorough comparison of mmap vs pread in VictoriaMetrics' Go storage engine, and the release of go-mail 0.8 with NTLMv2 and DKIM support. Ecosystem releases include River 0.40 (Postgres job queue), Excelize 2.11.0 (10th anniversary), GoReleaser 2.17 (Windows .msix support), and GoWebDAV 0.13. Broader ecosystem notes touch on the htmx creator using Claude for debugging, Bun's AI-powered Rust rewrite costing ~$165k in API usage, and a directory of Postgres replacing other systems.
