What happened in the world of Go over the last year? A lot. From version 1.23 to the latest release, the Go language has quietly been powering a revolution in modern computing. In this talk, we'll journey through the key developments that are making a massive impact, from enhanced garbage collection to powerful new language features, and examples to boot. We’ll explore how these changes simplify complex concurrency patterns and unlock new levels of performance. We’ll look at updates like Profile-Guided Optimization (PGO) and subtle yet powerful changes to the garbage collector. This isn't just about a language update; it's about how small, focused improvements are shaping the future of software that runs our world.
