Dmitri Shuralyov's personal blog at dmitri.shuralyov.com covers programming. Since 2015, 9 different Hacker News readers have linked it 37 times, most often “A half-hour to learn Go”. No feed was found, so read it on the site itself.
Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN links this 2016 dotGo talk on Go in the browser, cited as the source for a GopherJS contributor's remark that GopherJS would not target WebAssembly. Only one comment, which cites it without judging it.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
For anyone curious what a Go version of the same article would look like (as I was), I tried to answer that question by writing https://dmitri.shuralyov.com/blog/27 .

HN discussionI really enjoyed this, and it also inspired me to try a quick experiment: what would the same blog post look like for Go? I tried it and wrote https://dmitri.shuralyov.com/blog/27 . It was a fun exercise to go through.

HN discussionAt dotGo 2016, Paris, a GopherJS contributor said in his talk that WebAssembly is probably not a goal of GopherJS. "Targetting WebAssembly (wasm) is the next step, but not yet ready. It won't be GopherJS" https://dmitri.shuralyov.com/talks/2016/Go-in-the-browser/Go...

HN discussionThere are more ways to go about it than I can describe in this reply. In my case, it was a 1.5 year stint, I funded it with my own savings and didn't have external income during that time. So I was paying myself which isn't sustainable long-term, but on the upside I got to do exactly what I wanted without external constraints. It was fun and fulfilling, with some nuanced downsides towards the end. After that, I got…

HN discussionhttps://dmitri.shuralyov.com I use it myself daily to receive a chronological feed aggregating notifications from GitHub and Gerrit. I’m pretty happy to rely on that and not need to receive notifications via email or by visiting multiple web UIs. It also hosts my newer (though also more rare) personal Go packages, serving them via a custom implementation of the module proxy protocol in addition to a git server, an i…

HN discussionThis is cool. I like the simplicity and DIY approach. I've done something similar with my blog. [1] It's not using Disqus or any heavyweight 3rd party solution for comments. Instead, I've created something very simple, similar to GitHub Issues frontend UI and backend, and used that. The backend is completely pluggable (it's an interface [2]), so it can be implemented by talking to real GitHub API [3], or any custom…

HN discussionCoincidentally, I noticed my blog’s first post¹ is from September 24, 2009, so yesterday it became exactly 15 years old. I have taken great care to preserve all of the posts on my personal website, but unfortunately I don’t write new posts very often lately. I wonder if that’ll change.

HN discussionI really enjoy using Go for building websites. But I use Go for everything, including games, frontend (instead of JavaScript), etc. There's nothing else I'd rather use. Heck, I even rewrote my resume in Go that renders HTML on frontend [0], hehe. [0] view-source: https://dmitri.shuralyov.com/resume

on “GopherJS”It's possible to run traditionally desktop games that use OpenGL by compiling them to JavaScript. As an example, here's a port of an old C++ game to Go which I am able to have running in the browser [1]. It's a multiplayer game too. (The port is not finished.) > Why not make a "native" game instead!? It's a lot easier to judge/try games if they run in the browser. For example, try this terrain demo [2] which runs in…

on “Ask HN: Could you share your personal website here?”My personal website [1] aggregates my notifications from GitHub and Gerrit in one stream. It updates in real-time without me needing to refresh the page. It also hosts a small set of personal Go packages. For this, it implements a git server, module proxy protocol, issue tracker and change tracker. At some point, I want to differentiate the code review UI with nice-to-haves specific to Go, but haven’t gotten there y…
