Welcome back!

So we're on a bit of a quest to rebuild the micro that once was. We're going back to being a toolkit, with a focus on Go Micro and Go services development. What does that mean? Well v5 is a bit of a clean slate, quite literally. We've scrapped all the code in the micro repo and started fresh, with a CLI tool that focuses on adding value to the Go Micro experience. And to avoid further confusion, we've renamed the CLI binary to mu so it's very clear, this is not micro v3 the platform, or anything like that, this is not a competing tool with Go Micro. The mu binary is a CLI tool that enables calling services, listing them from the registry and at a stretch, an API for basic HTTP queries to a fixed address so you don't have to manage doing it yourself.

As always we welcome feedback, I'm sure there's a lot of grumbling about micro's quick changing nature too. Note for the past decade, Micro was really focused on trying to create a venture scale business, from the very first day, the goal was a platform company, not an open source project, and so the codebase moved very quickly with that in mind. Today there's no company, there's no funding, there's no hidden or separate agenda. We're going to make this project the best tool for Go microservices development.

That's it! Happy hacking folks.

@asim and what is the next of micro.dev?

[asim]

I no longer own the domain micro.dev

We have go-micro.dev for the go-micro project and the main domain we've always owned is micro.mu
