I love the Go programming language. It’s easy to use, concise and powerful. These characteristics appeal to the typical programmer’s mindset. Yet, the brevity of the language can be a source of frustration. For example, the core “json” package converts JSON to Go structures yet does nothing to automate this process. If you have a large JSON document to consume, you’ll be writing the corresponding Go structures by hand.

Homomorphic encryption has long been something of a Holy Grail in cryptography. Related: Post-quantum cryptography on the horizon For decades, some of our smartest mathematicians and computer scientists have struggled to derive a third way to keep data encrypted — not just the two classical ways, at rest and in transit. The truly astounding feat, aka homomorphic encryption, would be to keep data encrypted while it is being actively used by an application to run computations.
