Last year you told us what to fix. This year we shipped a new go fix. Coincidence? Not entirely. The 2026 Go Developer Survey is open through Nov 3 -- tell us what’s next: blink.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

People sometimes ask whether our choice of programming language matters anymore, now that AI writes so much of our code for us. As @rseroter.bsky.social and I write, our choice of programming language actually matters more than ever. developers.googleblog.com/why-go-is-an...

#GoogleIO had some very cool presentations this week, the best of which might be a product keynote from the Go team on everything that’s new in Go 1.25 and Go 1.26. Check out everything we launched in the last year and what we’re thinking about in the year to come. www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4ln...

Go 1.26 has a lot to love, including significant performance improvements that are completely transparent to Go developers. Just upgrade and your Go programs run faster -- no other changes required!

Announcing Genkit Go 1.0! The SDK is now stable and production-ready. The 1.0 release introduces the genkit init:ai-tools command for seamless integration with AI coding tools, with built-in support for tool calling, RAG, and more. ➡️ goo.gle/487gyzJ

First up for the conference is @cameronb.bsky.social ! Go's Next Frontier

🎊 Go 1.25.0 is released! 📝 Release notes: https://go.dev/doc/go1.25 ⬇️ Download: https://go.dev/dl/#go1.25.0 #golang

🚀 Go isn’t just keeping up—it’s leading the way! From its game-changing concurrency model to driving open-source security, #golang has shaped the industry. Now, it’s poised to lead the next frontier: AI + programming. Join @cameronb.bsky.social at #GopherCon to see what’s next. #GopherConOrBust

Next week I will be on the Go Team panel at GopherCon Europe 2025 in Berlin, with Jonathan Amsterdam, Michael Pratt, Damien Neil, and Michael Stapelberg. If you're attending, submit your questions by the end of Monday at forms.gle/gD1iBMLgjyVu...!

This year's #GoogleIO is extra exciting, not least because Go team members @cameronb.bsky.social and @muncus.bsky.social will be presenting Go's first ever product keynote, "What's New in Go"! Tune in on Thursday, May 22 at 9am PT 👉 io.google/2025/explore...

Are you at #GoogleCloudNext? Be sure to say hello to the Go team at our booth in the Developer Community Hub on the expo floor! We’ll be here all week to chat all things #golang.

It’s always exciting to see a high-profile dev team celebrate a 10x performance gain in their project since switching to Go. It’s extra exciting when that project is the TypeScript compiler and toolchain. devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/t...

Come say hello!

gopls v0.18.0 quietly released a new "modernize" tool which automatically adjusts your #golang code to use newer std APIs and language features! modernize -fix ./... For example: range over int, min and max, slices APIs like Contains or Delete. github.com/golang/tools...

Go surpassed Node as the most popular language for making automated API requests in this year’s Cloudflare Radar Year in Review! This is a pretty big deal and corroborates the amazing growth we've seen elsewhere. 2024: Go 12%, Node 10% 2023: Go 8%, Node 15% radar.cloudflare.com/year-in-revi...

Happy birthday, Go! 🎂 go.dev/blog/15years
