#2It looks like the language is really maturing. The changes are all fairly minor optimizations and improvements to the stdlib.
Impressed with the Go team’s discipline for simplicity and stability.

#3Worth it if only for the go.mod tidy-up, how that made it into a release in the first place baffles me.

#4Never tried to write Go before, maybe it’s time that I stop by.

#7At first I didn't like Go because I thought it was too opinionated. But the more I used it, the more I found the tooling to be just heads and shoulders above similar languages like C/C++.
I use VSCode a lot, and in VSCode you can press "F12" to jump to the location of a function definition. In Go I find myself deep diving into github libraries all the time just because F12 takes me there. That never happened with C/C++ - the tooling was just too disparate and fragile.
My biggest complaint with Go is lack of generics. I mean technically you can achieve generics with an unholy empty interface/reflection incantation but it's a huge pain compared to C++.

Generics are hopefully coming February 2022 with 1.18.

#9Apparently type parameter compiler work was supposed to get merged just after 1.17. [1] Does anyone know if it’s still on?
