Until they decide it to be enabled by default.
Exactly. Give it a couple of releases and the default "for new installations" will be On. Two more releases and all other installs will be opted in. Classic pattern for shoveling stuff down the throat of resisting gray masses.
> Go telemetry is an opt-in system Great job Go. Hat tip and respect for this. Unlike .Net. I will enable this where it is appropriate.
Opt-in telemetry. A very rare sight these days. Glad to see. Not even Mozilla does that with Firefox [1]. > Starting in Go 1.23, the Go toolchain can collect usage and breakage statistics that help the Go team understand how the Go toolchain is used and how well it is working. We refer to these statistics as Go telemetry. > Go telemetry is an opt-in system, controlled by the go telemetry command. By default, the tool…

I don't like the "range-over-func" addition. I feel like it is adding complexity and syntactic sugar to the language that has thus far been mostly avoided.

It's probably simple, but the control flow just felt convoluted.
Any good resources on learning go? Has anyone had any luck with the YT videos or courses way?

At which point us, the Linux packagers and other package maintainers, is just going to patch it out. I wouldn't be very worried.
And Google makes you call it something other than Go, like Firefox did to linux packagers: > The Go trademark and the Go Logo ( ) – collectively, the “Go Trademarks” – are trademarks of Google and are treated separately from the copyright license grants contained in the BSD-licensed Go repositories, as described below. > Substantially unmodified distributions¶ > Substantially unmodified distributions may use the Go T…

Sure, if it's a software library, I don't want it doing random network calls during my runtime. That's just rude.
But if it's a user application (including a compiler), I don't see what the fuss is about. Of all the myriad of ways our data is harvested every single day, telemetry seems very unhelpful to advertisers and hackers, but very helpful to the people whose job it is to make the software you use better. I'd love to help them make the software I use better

I hope I don't sounds rude saying this but Go code is generally self evident. I personally got my Go knowledge from reading Go code on GitHub or the like. There's a certain beauty to Go code in that you can grasp what code does pretty easily, which definitely helps with learning.
