The Missing COM_RESET_CONNECTION in Go’s MySQL Driver — and the Engineering Behind Fixing It

While working on AlgoreaBackend, I encountered a subtle but serious issue in Go’s MySQL ecosystem.

The standard Go MySQL driver — go-sql-driver/mysql — does not implement COM_RESET_CONNECTION.

Not disabled. Not optional. Simply not implemented.

And that has real architectural consequences.

Runkit is finally home!

Only five years of waiting and it has happened! Now my work on Runkit is officially hosted on PECL: pecl.php.net/runkit

You can now install latest release through PECL with a standard command

pecl install runkit

Many thanks to all people involved in this adventure!
