Hey there! 👋 Welcome to `#TrendingTuesday`

This week we'll look into the fastest growing repos written in `Go`.

Our weekly trending lists take into account the historical performance of similar repos and the repo's current growth stage. For this reason, you’ll find some gems here that you won’t see anywhere else 💎

Before we kick off, we're excited to announce that we'll soon be tweeting about the _hottest_ GitHub repos and issues in **_real time_**. Follow us on Twitter [`@quine_sh`](https://twitter.com/quine_sh) to stay-up-to-date and help us reach our goal of 1,000 Twitter followers 🐦

🔟 In tenth place is [`highlight`](https://www.github.com/highlight/highlight), a full-stack monitoring platform designed for modern developers. It offers a cohesive, fully-featured monitoring solution, including session replay, error monitoring, and logging. The authors have made installation very easy, so you have no excuse not to try it out.

We really love it when the community creates tooling for the upcoming generation. The repo has _~466 issues_ and _~13 contributors_.

Kudos to [`@highlightio`](https://twitter.com/highlightio) for creating this!

9️⃣ Next is [`optimism`](https://www.github.com/ethereum-optimism/optimism), which is low-cost and fast Ethereum L2 blockchain, which is serves as the technical foundation for the _Optimism Collective_.

Check out the repo to learn more about their vision. It's refreshing to see a well-intentioned and forward-looking web3 network at times when crypto is going through a low. This repo has _~75 issues_ and _~117 contributors_.

A repo by [`@optimismFND`](https://twitter.com/optimismFND).

8️⃣ In the eighth place is [`xc`](https://www.github.com/joerdav/xc), a Markdown-based task runner designed to maximise convenience and minimise complexity. You can define tasks via human-readable Markdown thus transforming your `README.md` files a source of useful commands for your users.

The repo counts with _~3 issues_ and _~8 contributors_. 

---

7️⃣ Next is [`log`](https://www.github.com/charmbracelet/log), a project that defines itself as a _minimal_ and _colourful_ Go logging library. The library improves upon the standard Go logger by providing customisable, colourful, and structured human-readable logs via a simple and elegant API. The project is built with LipGloss, a library designed to build stylish terminal layouts.

Loggers are often plain, complicated, and monochromatic tools. It's really great to see a project reinventing them for the 21st century. The repo counts with _~6 issues_ and _~8 contributors_.

Check out [`@charmcli`](https://twitter.com/charmcli) for a bunch of other projects to make the terminal beautiful 💅

6️⃣ In place number six we have the [`arbitrum`](https://www.github.com/OffchainLabs/arbitrum) monorepo. Arbitrum is a Layer-2 cryptocurrency that interoperates with Ethereum and makes smart contracts scalable, fast, and private.

`arbitrum` is being used by 4.2k projects and counts with _~49 issues_ and _~50 contributors_.

The project is maintained by [`@OffchainLabs`](https://twitter.com/OffchainLabs)

5️⃣ Next is[`kwok`](https://www.github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kwok), a toolkit that allows users to set up a Kubernetes cluster of thousands of nodes in seconds without the use of Kubelet. `kwok` achieves this by simulating the lifecycle of fake nodes, pods, and other Kubernetes API resources.

The process is light enough to be run in your laptop! Do check it out - it has _~29 issues_ and _~36 contributors_ so far.

---

4️⃣ The fourth place is for [`usememos/memos`](https://www.github.com/usememos/memos) a "_memo hub_" that can be self-hosted using Docker. The hub allows users to create and share memos in markdown format. Additionally, users can connect with each other giving it a social flavour 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 

The UI is beautiful and the project is gathering contributor momentum. It's currently at _~96 issues_ and _~69 contributors_.

3️⃣ Now the first AI repo of the list: [`go-openai`](https://www.github.com/sashabaranov/go-openai) 
provides a wrapper for the OpenAI API for `Go` programmers, allowing them to easily access various OpenAI models, including ChatGPT, GPT-3, DALL-E, and Whisper.

OpenAI wrappers have been trending in most languages for the past few weeks. I'm glad that we found our go-to wrapper when we're programming in `Go`! The project has _~18 issues_ and _~31 contributors_.

---

2️⃣ In second place we have [`XTLS/REALITY`](https://www.github.com/XTLS/REALITY) which is a server-side implementation of the `REALITY` protocol (a fork of `tls` in `Go`). If you're into security, tunneling, and anti-censorship, this project is for you. I should note, however, that at the time of writing this post it has no open issues.

---

1️⃣ The fastest-growing project of the week is [`DeepLX`] (https://www.github.com/OwO-Network/DeepLX) 🏆. This repo contains a server-side implementation of the DeepL API (a language translation service) that requires no tokens, thus allowing for unlimited requests to be made.

No open issues on the sight, but it has _~9 contributors_.
