These new Go presentations (this one and http://talks.golang.org/2015/state-of-go-may.slide#1 ) are great. Very insightful and well explained.

We'll have vids of both up on https://www.hakkalabs.co/meetups/gosf within a few days or so.

I am most excited for the new SSA backend in go. I have been following commits to it here:

https://github.com/golang/go/tree/dev.ssa

No idea how long it will take to mature, but I hope there are some decent performance improvements once it is fully functional.

Could someone explain why 4 of the top 5 stories right now are about Go?

Google IO is 1 day away. My guess is they just finished polishing presentations which got published.

Can some one answer this question. It says that Go1.4 will be needed to compile Go1.5. Does this mean that Go1.4 will always be needed, even for Go1.6 and beyond? So are they essentially locking things to the Go1.4 "C" code, then updating on top of that?

No, any newer version works. You can build 1.5 with 1.5, you will be able to build 1.6 with 1.5 and 1.6.
