pfSense Plus and pfSense CE: Dev Insights and Direction
-
@jwj Very good news. I really like pfsense and getting the new plus version for free is lovely. Already worried about the migration work to another product, but now I'm looking forward for the new release.

Any news on the API?

I'm curious as to why Go was chosen for the UI? I have zero interest in starting a language war, no Rust vs Go nonsense. I'm also not questioning the appropriateness of Go.
I'm interested in what language attributes made it attractive or was it simply you already have the people and you can get to work immediately?
I'm speaking from experience where I have had to pick a tool set for service development (purely back-end) but skipped over obvious choices because of a lack of people ready to go. I've personally never done full stack work in any serious way, and have zero interest in such things. Front end development is an unpleasentness I'm happy to leave to others. :)

Just wondering about the timeline and lack of comms on releasing PFSense Plus for individuals to load on their own hardware. It's been quiet for a few months.

@gauthig It is taking a little longer than initially planned, but our goal is still to have it available this year.

@dennis_s any update on this? Am really curious to see how much different pfsense plus is for my home lab. Hoping it offers some improvement with my watchguard xtm550.

@truckin AFAIR from that Reddit thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/PFSENSE/comments/q1eix5/pfsense_plus_september_release/
the September release got pulled in favor of more development time and moved/merged to the 22.01 release.
Don't know why Reddit gets info on this and I don't see big posts in the forum but yeah.

Well, it's done, when it's done.
This works over years for pfSense ;) -
Thank you for the update.
