Go’s sync Package: A Set of Concurrency Synchronization Techniques

Apr 14, 2025

The types in the `sync` standard library package play a crucial role in the concurrent programming of the Go language. Developers need to reasonably select and correctly use these synchronization types according to specific business scenarios and requirements, so as to write efficient, reliable and thread-safe concurrent programs. At the same time, when writing concurrent code, it is also necessary to have an in-depth understanding of various concepts and potential problems in concurrent programming, such as data races, deadlocks, etc., and ensure the correctness and stability of the program in a concurrent environment through sufficient testing and verification.

Next.js vs PHP: A Side-by-Side Code Comparison for Web Development

Apr 13, 2025

Nextjs and writing business code directly in PHP pages each have their own characteristics. Nextjs is suitable for building modern and highly interactive web applications, and it performs excellently in performance optimization, component reuse, and development efficiency, but it requires a higher level of front-end technology stack from developers; PHP, with its simple and direct approach, has certain advantages in quickly building dynamic web pages and handling traditional business logic. However, developers need to be more cautious in terms of code maintainability and security. When choosing, developers should comprehensively consider factors such as the specific requirements of the project, the team's technical capabilities, and future extensibility to select the most suitable technical solution for web business development.

Under the Hood: FastAPI Is Just Starlette + Pydantic

Apr 12, 2025

The combination of Starlette and Pydantic can build high-performance and feature-rich APIs without relying on the encapsulation of FastAPI. Starlette provides a flexible ASGI application foundation, supporting core functions such as asynchronous processing, middleware, and WebSocket; Pydantic focuses on data validation and serialization. Although FastAPI simplifies the development process, directly using Starlette and Pydantic allows developers to have a deeper understanding of the underlying principles, make highly customized adjustments according to project requirements, and show stronger adaptability in complex scenarios.

Quicktemplate for Go: Like Jinja2 for Python, but Never html/template

Apr 09, 2025

Recently, when organizing the code of our project, I found that the code for many activities was very similar in structure and the functions it provided. To facilitate future development, I spent some time writing a tool for generating code frameworks to minimize repetitive work. The code itself is not complex and is closely related to the project code, so I won't go into details here. During this process, I found that the Go standard template libraries `text/template` and `html/template` were rather restrictive and inconvenient to use. I learned from GitHub about the third-party template library `quicktemplate`, which is powerful, has a simple syntax, and is easy to use. Today, we're going to introduce `quicktemplate`.
