A trivial "Hello, world" App Engine application intended to be used as the starting point for your own code. Please see Google App Engine SDK for Go and Quickstart for Go in the App Engine Standard Environment.

The go/types package is a type-checker for Go programs. It is one of the most complex packages in Go's standard library, so we have provided this tutorial to help you find your bearings. It comes with several example programs that you can obtain using go get and play with as you learn to build tools that analyze or manipulate Go programs.

A trivial web server that demonstrates the use of the template package's block feature.

The log/slog package supports structured logging. It features a flexible backend in the form of a Handler interface. This guide can help you write your own handler.
