🔥 You can pass an expression to new() to directly get a pointer to its result, starting in Go 1.26.
Before Go 1.26, you could only do new(Type) to get a pointer to the zero value of that type
The new behavior new(expr) is syntactic sugar for:
tmp := expr
result := &tmp
But…
I wrote a post covering advanced Pattern Matching and best practices in Rust. It received a lot of likes on Reddit.

VictoriaLogs is a great database for SIEM events and logs:
- It is optimized for storing, querying and analyzing billions of SIEM events and structured logs with big number of fields (hundreds per log entry).
- It automatically parses CEF messages received over Syslog protocol…
Lars Bergstrom (Google) announced $350k investment in Rust:
• $250k to Rust Foundation for language interoperability
• $100k for Crater infrastructure
Says Rust has helped reduce Android security issues. Good to see continued corporate investment.
Big new to Rust: v1.90.0 is released and it delivers a serious speed improvement.

Numbers from ripgrep:
• Linking time cut by 7×
• Overall compile time reduced 40%
• Full debug builds finish 20% faster

I think Rust's slow builds are still killing adoption, but there is hope.
I have just read Rust compiler performance survey 2025. Build performance averaging 6/10 satisfaction with 55% waiting 10+ seconds for rebuilds proves this is still Rust's #1 problem. What frustrates me is…
Happy Friday folks!
What will you be working on this weekend?
If you’re looking for something to read, we quietly dropped the latest Chapter of @func25 amazing book, the anatomy of Go.
A more detailed book on Go you will not find.
Still available at early access prices. If…
Rust closures used to confuse the hell out of me until I learned what the compiler actually does behind the scenes.
Finally got some time to write up everything I figured out: blog.cuongle.dev/p/the-hidden-r…
VictoriaLogs gained support for useful features during the last two weeks:
1. Pattern matching - allows searching for logs that match the given patterns (it is easier to use and is much faster than regexp matching).
2. Ability to calculate running stats and total stats, such as…
"S3 is cheaper than EBS". This is the top reason why people want using S3 as a persistent storage for databases such as VictoriaMetrics and VictoriaLogs.
They are correct - S3 costs $23/TB/month, while EBS gp3 costs $80/TB/month (but there is st1 at $45/TB/month and sc1 at…
2 ways to find a high-pay job in a hard market that I don’t see commonly shared, but I will:
1. Writing and building your name as a brand
I started building my name, Phuong Le, as a brand 3–4 years ago. I kept writing and researching consistently.
I thought I would give up,…
Chapter 6 of The Anatomy of Go has been released: bytesizego.com/books/anatomy-….
As always, the image below is a little spoiler from the book.
This chapter with over 160 pages and plenty of diagrams, focuses on functions, defer, panic/recover, profiling, tracing, and profile-guided…
Every read from S3 takes 100ms-200ms on average. So reading a single byte takes roughly the same time as reading 10MB of data from S3 at 100MB/s speed.
This complicates designing high-performance databases with S3 storage. If the query needs reading a million of 1KB data blocks…
VictoriaMetrics is now listed among the vendors of the OpenTelemetry Demo!
Our products VictoriaMetrics (metrics), VictoriaLogs (logs), and VictoriaTraces (traces) support all 3 telemetry signals, which can be displayed and correlated in Grafana. github.com/open-telemetry…
Happy to announce that I'm starting as Team Lead of #VictoriaLogs at VictoriaMetrics!
For those who don't know VictoriaLogs (github.com/VictoriaMetric…) yet, it's one of the fastest log databases for ingestion, queries, and analytics. See how VictoriaLogs outperforms Loki:…
Scaling the pod vertically without restarting is now feasible from Kubernetes v1.33.
Normally, if you wanted to give an app (a Pod in Kubernetes) more memory or CPU, you had to restart it.
That works fine if the app doesn’t care about restarts, but some apps really don’t like…
