Yay new version! Not the most exciting (as Go releases tend to be which is good), but hopefully jsonv2 and greentea can get some testing and be standard in 1.26

  > greentea I didn't know what it is and had to look it up. Looks like a new GC. https://github.com/golang/go/issues/73581 https://github.com/golang/go/issues/73581

    Is reading the posted article just something we don't do anymore?
    • latchkey 1y ago
      Haven't done that in ages. I open both the page and the comments. The first few comments usually dictate if I'm going to bother with the page. What I want next is just an AI summary of the comments with vibe analysis ("Is this worth reading?).

      To be fair, I read the article but still don't know what greentea is. The article never directly refers to the new GC by this name. It appears in a command line option value, that's about it.

        > The new garbage collector may be enabled by setting GOEXPERIMENT=greenteagc at build time I don’t know if you’d count that as directly referring to it by name but it’s there.

          The sentence reads The new garbage collector may be enabled by setting [blurred] at build time to me, where exact flag value is automatically ignored, because I don't care what's in there. I don't pay attention to such irrelevant details
          • vips7L 1y ago
            Yeah that’s extremely fair.

      If people were intended to read we wouldn't have to yell at them to RTFM!!
