+The [TIOBE index shows Go](https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/go/) at its
+highest position (#7) since 2009 in 12/2024.
+
+Our year summarized:
+
+* we organized eight [events](https://golangleipzig.space/tags/summary/) in 2024, plus seven open [tech lunches](https://golangleipzig.space/posts/go-tech-lunch-dates-2024/) and grew from 577 to [695 members](https://www.meetup.com/Leipzig-Golang/)
+* we collaborated with two local companies again: [Gridfuse](https://gridfuse.com) ([#43](https://golangleipzig.space/posts/meetup-43-wrapup/)) and
+  [CHECK24](https://check24.de) ([#42](https://golangleipzig.space/posts/meetup-42-wrapup/), [#45](https://golangleipzig.space/posts/meetup-45-wrapup/)) — thanks for being such great hosts!
+* [Bill Kennedy](https://www.linkedin.com/in/william-kennedy-5b318778/) from [Ardan Labs](https://ardanlabs.com) kicked off our year in with a presentation on data-oriented [DDD](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain-driven_Design) in [#40](https://golangleipzig.space/posts/meetup-40-wrapup/)
+* Performance played a role: [SIMD](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_instruction,_multiple_data) and [1BRC](https://1brc.dev) (1 Billion Row Challenge) were discussed in
+  [#42](https://golangleipzig.space/posts/meetup-42-wrapup/) and we turned
+the 1BRC into a 2h workshop for the international
+[GOLAB](https://golangleipzig.space/posts/golab-2024/) conference in Florence, Italy: [Exercises in
+performance optimizations](https://github.com/miku/expo) --
+[SWAR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWAR) was one of the cute,
+[old](https://lamport.azurewebsites.net/pubs/multiple-byte.pdf) techniques used
+to cruchs 1B rows in a second.
+* we had many cool demos of open source tools by their authors this year:
+[ekstatic](https://github.com/Metamogul/ekstatic),
+[gocoverplus](https://github.com/Fabianexe/gocoverageplus),
