My favorite part: Go 1.17 implements a new way of passing function arguments and results using registers instead of the stack. This work is enabled for Linux, MacOS, and Windows on the 64-bit x86 architecture... For a representative set of Go packages and programs, benchmarking has shown performance improvements of about 5%, and a typical reduction in binary size of about 2%.
