Wingo: A Fully-Featured Window Manager Written in Go — Not a new project (indeed, it’s in ‘maintenance mode’) but I wasn’t familiar with any Go powered window managers till now, so you might fancy playing around with it if you have time to spare.

LaTTe: Generate PDFs using LaTeX Templates and JSON — It uses pdfLaTeX under the hood to create PDFs from .tex files that are filled in using text/template. There’s a live demo too.

c2go: A Tool for Transpiling C to Go — “The ultimate milestone is to be able to compile the SQLite3 source code and have it working without modification.
