Hello, everyone!

Let me introduce a list of the best open-source findings for October 2019.

If you want to have more awesomeness, including new and useful open-source tools, great articles, and excellent talks - you can join my telegram channel called @OpensourceFindings (mirror link).

In this list we will discuss: Rust, Swift, TypeScript, JavaScript, Go, Scala, and Python.
This includes web and mobile development, developer tooling, and Big Data tooling.

Here is the list of the best practices for mostly any programming language. Why "mostly"? Because it, obviously, does not cover all ~3600 existing languages. But, you can always add your favourite language in case it is missing. PRs are welcome!

That's it for today! Make sure to subscribe to my channel if you liked this list. I am going to post new ones each month. Also, feel free to post any cool projects you know in the comments. Feedback is always welcome.

That's what open-source is for: making for-profit companies richer for free. </sarcasm>

grpcui is more of like rest client like postman. Insomnia is a good and comperhensive postman alternative. However if we are talking CLI tools like curl, httpie is a good alternative that is very easy to use and docs are great. Other than that great post πŸ”₯πŸ”₯
