Earlier quoted context omitted.

It is explained in the design document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1P3BLR31VA8cvLJLfMibSuTdw... Basically, you start from the last C version, and every version is supposed to be able to compile the next one.

Ah ok, so there will be a pretty long chain from 1.2 eventually, but hopefully it will be part of the test suite...

You should always be able to build a Go 1.x compiler with just the 1.4 tool chain binaries. We have committed to sticking to the Go 1.4 language and libraries for the compiler tool chain.

Anyone else seeing this post as the 1st and 2nd link on the front page of HN?

Yes! And with different points, too.

Looks like they diverged. Lots of duplicate comments.

Edit: Nope. All comments show on both.

It's a huge page. Maybe HN took a while to read the URL and the OP ended up double-posting.

But they both link to the same comments section

And they seem to link to the same URL, which HN is supposed to prevent (for submissions created within a short period).
