Following [1]various Intel open-source projects recently being archived with Intel formally discontinuing their development, another wave of Intel open-source projects were formally sunset on Monday.

This latest round of Intel open-source projects being archived were focused on various codebases targeting Google's Go programming language. These Intel Go projects weren't exactly popular or widely-used as far as I know so not necessarily a big impact besides those programmers that are fans of the Go system programming language as an alternative to the likes of C or Rust.

The latest discontinued Intel open-source software projects include:

[2]IXL-GO - A user-space library for Intel's accelerators written in Go, This allows tapping the power of the Intel IAA and DSA accelerators from Go code for accelerated compression/decompression, faster CRC calculations, data filtering, and data movement when running on recent generation Intel Xeon processors.

[3]forLAGraphGoM - An Intel generic implementation of LAGraph linear algebra for Go

[4]forGraphBLASGo - Intel's implementation of GraphBLAS for Go.

[5]forGoParallel - Intel's parallel programming library for Go as a fork of Pargo.

Those were all archived yesterday as a setback for Go programmers but not too surprising considering they didn't have too vibrant of a following or too rigorously seeing new developments. The IXL-GO being archived though will be unfortunate for anyone wanting to tap Intel's IAA/DSA accelerators from Go.
