Very interesting ideas in there. Especially the thought of an upcoming Go 2 perhaps being done in such a compatible way that "Go 2" is actually "Go 1.1X"

He also hints that it would likely only be done to address major issues/concerns/changes such as:

* generics

* modules (perhaps done? time will tell)

* errors (if err != nil {}, extra type information, chaining, etc)

* context

Still to early to tell if anything I listed or he listed would be part of "Go 2" or whatever it happens to be called.

Go project lead Russ Cox already talked about that on an episode of the Go Time podcast. Transcript: https://changelog.com/gotime/77#transcript-60


Don't people just write helper functions to deal with the error checking spam? It's five lines at the top of the file...

Anyway, I will miss our GOPATH overlords. I have enough decisions to make, I'm fine with the language making some for me.

The person you replied to is quoting the slides that posit that generics are a consideration for Go 2.0, so your spittle laden post betrays your own bizarre hangups.

"Cue hate, give me c# 1.1 anyday"

You brought the hate. Take it when you leave. Thanks.
