"State of Go"
summary
History and concrete results drive the update: go 1.5 rewrites the compiler and runtime from C to Go and ships a much faster garbage collector; modules land across 1.11–1.13 and the module mirror and checksum database make versions immutable and cacheable; generics in Go 1.18 arrives and the toolchain adds SBOMs and a native fuzzer; an end-to-end vulnerability management system is in public preview, IDEs and go.dev integrate it; adoption climbs by 1.2M devs in 2021–2022, ~2,000 contributors and ~1M modules.
