## What it is
A curated, awesome-style collection of idiomatic design patterns, recipes, and idioms for the Go programming language, organized into creational, structural, and behavioral categories. Each pattern links to a markdown explanation with example code and implementation status.

## Use cases
- learn design patterns in go
- find idiomatic go examples for common patterns
- reference for implementing singleton or builder in golang
- study go concurrency and behavioral patterns
- onboarding resource for developers new to go

## When to choose
- you want concise, idiomatic Go examples of classic design patterns
- you are learning Go and want a curated pattern reference
- you need a quick lookup for pattern implementations with code

## When to avoid
- you need a runnable library or framework to import into your project
- you need exhaustive, up-to-date coverage of every pattern (many entries are marked incomplete)
- you are looking for patterns in languages other than Go

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: documentation, developer-tools
- domain: programming-languages, tutorials, awesome-lists, developer-tools
- platform: go, cross-platform
- tags: design-patterns, go-idioms, curated-list, golang, software-architecture
