For someone who follows the mailing lists and issue comments this has been known for a while, but it's easy to see where the confusion comes from, given these blog posts: https://blog.golang.org/toward-go2 https://blog.golang.org/go2-here-we-come https://blog.golang.org/go2-next-steps They mention backward-compatibility, but only for the initial proposals "to get the ball rolling". There hasn't been a blog post titled "There are no plans for Go 2" or "Go 2 is not what you think it is" so far. The current policy seems to be this document: "Proposal: Go 2 transition": https://go.googlesource.com/proposal/+/refs/heads/master/design/28221-go2-transitions.md "If the above process works as planned, then in an important sense there never will be a Go 2." It is labeled "Proposal", but it doesn't seem to be a proposal in the usual proposal process sense, and many may have missed it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
