Story: Writing Scripts with Go

This is a story about how I tried to use Go for scripting. In this story, I’ll discuss the need for a Go script, how we would expect it to behave and the possible implementations; During the discussion I’ll deep dive to scripts, shells, and shebangs. Finally, we’ll discuss solutions that will make Go scripts work.

Why Go is good for scripting?

While python and bash are popular scripting languages, C, C++ and Java are not used for scripts at all, and some languages are somewhere in between.

optimize GLTF file

This optimizes a GLTF file that was exported by blender (or similar) by de-duplicating buffer views (i.e. chunks of bytes) that are equal and removing redundant accessors.

For example, 100 cubes of different scales/materials/rotations/etc should all end up using a single BufferGeometry in ThreeJS, which isn't the case with current GLTF exporters in Blender and parsers for ThreeJS.

In scenes with a lot of instancing, it can dramatically reduce total file size as well as render performance. In one test scene:

Before: 4.8MB file size, 832 THREE.Geometry instances across 832 THREE.Mesh objects
After: 661KB file size, 13 THREE.Geometry instances across 832 THREE.Mesh objects

# Minimal example of getting a PostgREST API running from scratch for
# testing purposes.  It uses docker to launch a postgres database and
# a postgrest api server.

# This should not be used to deploy a production system but to
# understand how postgrest works.  In particular there is no security
# implemented, see the docs for more.

Anti-hype LLM reading list

Goals: Add links that are reasonable and good explanations of how stuff works. No hype and no vendor content if possible. Practical first-hand accounts of models in prod eagerly sought.
