Russ has done a great job of shepherding Go through over a decade of growth and maturity and has led a ton of fantastic additions to the language and built a strong pattern of excellence in how language changes are considered and made that should serve as a shining example for the future of Go as well as any other language out there. And now he’s continuing the stretch of outstanding leadership by passing the torch. I can wait to see what the next 12 years of Go brings. Thanks for your service, Russ!
