What happens here? Does Go suffer from boundary access issues that C has? You know, in Rust, you don't have to worry about that, but is it the same for GO?

I really dislike how every point release of certain projects (Go and Gitlab being prime examples) gets onto the HN frontpage. Even as someone who loves some of the projects, I find it to be a problem.

Yet I don't want to "flag" the post, because I assume there is some kind of penalty for the submitter, beyond mere downvoting. Maybe it makes sense to have some kind of option to indicate a story fits site guidelines, but really doesn't belong on the front page.

I think it would produce a runtime error and return a stack trace. Someone more qualified than me should chime in though...

The goroutine panics. Nil dereferences are recoverable from[1], but I'm not sure how many people expect standard library code to panic.

I share this sentiment. Per their own Release page [1], this one is considered a minor version with no major features, so I don't particularly find it notable, whereas a major version would probably stimulate more discussion about the new features.

I'm not sure where the line is between 'I don't find this notable' vs. 'I find this explicitly off-topic', the latter of which would warrant a flag.
