Yes, the loopvar change will break some programs, and hence the compatibility promise. But the Go team argues that the change will fix much more programs than it will break [1]. This makes me wonder, though, what guarantees that a similar breaking change won't ever happen again in the future? If any change with #(programs fixed) >> #(programs broken) is accepted, we might as well remove the compatibility promise page [2]. --- [1] https://github.com/golang/go/issues/60078 https://github.com/golang/go/issues/60078 [2] https://go.dev/doc/go1compat https://go.dev/doc/go1compat
