What Hacker News says
3 sourceswell, you can start with https://github.com/rcarmo/go-textile, https://github.com/rcarmo/go-rdp, https://github.com/rcarmo/go-ooxml, https://github.com/rcarmo/go-busybox (still WIP). All of these are essentially SPEC and test-driven and they are all working for me (save a couple of bugs in go-rdp I need to fix myself, and some gaps in the ECMA specs for go-ooxml that require me to provide actual manually created documents for further testing).
I am currently porting pyte to Go through a similar approach (feeding the LLM with a core SPEC and two VT100/VT220 test suites). It's chugging along quite nicely.
