No Go 2.0 release is planned. Go2 is a marketing label (I guess?) meant to imply that the Go 1.x language and stdlib are still evolving.
The term is a mistake, as it creates the impression that a backwards-incompatible product is in the works.
- infogulch 6y agoI'm familiar with go team's compatibility plan for "Go 2", or whatever it will be called, which is why I used "deprecate" not "delete". Though I agree that there's no requirement to have a new major version in order to introduce big fixes like this.
