From the linked release notes: > Note that the new conversion from slice to array pointer is the first case in which a type conversion can panic at run time. Analysis tools that assume type conversions can never panic should be updated to consider this possibility. I'm not worried about updating tools, I'm worried about updating humans that assume type conversions can never panic at run time. This change feels like adding a substantial foot-gun.
