If you build containers, you should be looking into Docker Slim in c/[email protected]

Huh, I figured my containers were already as small as I could get them by using compiled go binaries in a distroless container. But it looks like there could still be some gains to be made!

Is Golang the name we want to use for the official Go community here? in c/golang

There is definitely logic in that, but the most google'd go resources don't use the term golang. go.dev and pkg.go.dev haven't used 'golang' since the .dev domain, and stackoverflow only lets you use the 'go' tag. That said obviously many others do use golang like reddit's /r/golang for instance, although that is probably due to the same limitation on name length as lemmy.

I don't feel terribly strongly either way, but I do lean towards the cleaner "Go" as that is the language's true name and is more idiomatic Go :)

Folks will surely understand what it means either way, but I figured we should try to get ourselves set off on the right foot!

For the record I think a mix of terms could work too. Like the community url could remain the same: /c/golang aka !golang but then the 'nice' name could just be "Go programming language" or the context could be understood as we are on programming.dev and it could just be "Go", as well as having the icon to help people identify it as the programming language.
