Welcome to the Toolkit project dossier. This is where I document the complete journey of building Toolkit - from initial concept through implementation challenges to final release.

Follow along as I share technical decisions, architectural patterns, and practical insights gained while developing this extended standard library for go with useful types.

This project is currently in planning phase. Explore the articles below to see the evolution and lessons learned.

Toolkit

An extended standard library for Go that fills common gaps while maintaining the language's minimalist ethos. Toolkit provides well-designed types for everyday use cases like optional values, result types, enhanced enums, and memory-efficient collections.

The library includes utilities for working with custom memory pools, advanced synchronization primitives, and type-safe configuration management. Each component is carefully curated to avoid bloat, solving specific pain points encountered in real-world Go development.

Toolkit emphasizes performance and clarity, offering zero-allocation alternatives for hot paths and clear, idiomatic APIs. It serves as the foundation for other projects while remaining completely standalone.
