Linking to the Github release seems more like a grab for fake Internet points than a useful post.
A useful post would be waiting for golang.org to be updated and linking to the official release notes.
Edit: Thanks to whoever updated the link to point to something useful at least. Still would have preferred this came down until the release was actually posted.

- randyrand 10y agoFor people that use Go, this is a useful PSA since they could grab it right now. for those that don't, this is uninteresting haha.
- flukus 10y agoIf only there was some kind of list that enthusiasts could join to get notifications like this.
- petercooper 10y agoAn unfair, groundless projection on your part. Thanks for spreading a little more negativity today :-) From the HN guidelines: Please don't submit comments complaining that a submission is inappropriate for the site.
- grey-area 10y agoIt still hasn't actually been released yet though, 3 hours after your post, so it was a little premature :)
- schmichael 10y agoI'm as excited as the next gopher about Go 1.8's release, but for all practical purposes it hasn't been released yet. It's actually an incredibly frustrating submission for those of us excited to get the official binaries.
- garrettgrimsley 10y agoIn addition to what schmichael mentioned: You linked to the general release history front page, which in the future will display nothing about the 1.8 release. You should have linked to a page that is not expected to change as time passes. This is why we use permalinks for blogposts rather than linking to the front page of some blog.
- paulddraper 10y agoWhat about a comment complaining that a comment is inappropriate for the site?
- pmarreck 10y agoDon't you have some errors to check for, or something? ;)
