Weird that this needs to be said. I’m not familiar with the Go ecosystem, but there is usually a natural incentive for library developers to reach more people, which means you’d want to support the oldest feasible version. If you don’t do that then someone will develop a better library which does support an older version. Is that not happening here?
- vbernat 6mo agoWhat the article does not say is that if you don't have a recent enough version, by default, Go automatically downloads a more recent toolchain. So, for most users, this is transparent. However, this behavior can be disabled (for example, when building for a Linux distribution).
