Summary: Today we take a look at ways Go (Golang) developers can leverage Gemini protocol to their advantage; there's a relatively new site or capsule called gemini://godocs.io

THE future of Gemini seems bright. As shown in the figure/image/chart at the bottom, based on this Hungarian capsule and Francophone dataset: "There are 2450 capsules. We successfully connected recently to 1954 of them." It keeps growing. There are also quite a few capsules in east Asia, Russia, and all sorts of rather remote and barely-connected places. Gemini is a lot more inclusive than the Web because of its low entry barrier (minimal requirements).

"It should be possible to do programming without a Web browser for referencing/lookups. Gemini is highly suitable for this task."Today I decided to show how programmers can use Gemini in place of technical books, or how they can look up libraries on the Internet, especially or specifically for Go in this case.

Since almost everything in Gemini is Free software (not only tools and clients/browsers but also capsules), gemini://godocs.io could be modeled after the "now-defunct godoc.org, operated by Drew Devault."

It works very well. It should be possible to do programming without a Web browser for referencing/lookups. Gemini is highly suitable for this task. ⬆
