Keynote: The State Of Go
summary
Go claims long-term stability via the Go compatibility promise while shipping concrete features: modules with a module mirror and checksum database (immutable versions, caching, tamper detection), generics in 1.18, a compiler and runtime rewritten in Go by 1.5, a faster garbage collector, SBOMs and a built-in fuzzer, and a public‑preview vulnerability management pipeline. The go command, go.dev, VS Code plugin and go-pls integrate these tools; adoption triples since 2018, adding ~1.2M developers in 2021–22 and nearly a million modules in the ecosystem.
