- coolsunglasses 13y agoBetter than that, this version (I think) comes with the database performance improvements that made Golang go back to the tippy-top of the Techempower benchmarks. Massive improvements were made. This is impactful and cool stuff. :)
- jussij 13y agoFYI they're not these doing quick release cycles because they want to. This is RC (Release Candidate) 2. The way release candidates work is they can't become an official release if issues are found with that candidate. They're putting out this second RC because they want to get to the official 1.1 version, but there where issues with RC 1 and as such it failed as a candidate for the official 1.1 release. Over the next few weeks they will be hoping there is no RC 3.
- salimmadjd 13y agoDon't expect too many new versions. Go's philosophy is "less is more". 1.1 was needed to fix a few nagging problems. With v 1.5 or 2.0 they might introduce generics (still being discussed ) and that's it. I think most changes will be performance based and nothing to the language itself.
- pjmlp 13y agoI doubt they will change much after 1.1, given the designers' philosophy in language design.
- pkulak 13y agoThat's my favorite feature. They still may make significant changes that don't effect syntax.
- pjmlp 13y agoThat is what made me disregard Go, after my initial interest on the language, but then again I am a CS guy that feels at home with FP and similar stuff. Nowadays I rather play with D and Rust, but I wish success to the Go team anyway, as choice is always good.
