Go 1.23: What You Need to Know About the Latest Features

[@MelkeyDev]

Hopefully you guys enjoy this video!
Let me know what you think - what's your favorite feature of the new release?

[@AlexanderBorshak]

Iterators by sure.

[@collinoly]

I don’t like the idea of telemetry tools being built in at all. But it being opt in is the right move. A lot of googles internal teams use go and I could see them being required to turn this feature on. And I’m assuming that’s mostly what the go team is expecting. So hopefully they don’t keep pushing the telemetry stuff

[@peterszarvas94]

how language maintainers always find a way to ruin a good language (see rust)

[@JimRohn-u8c]

Why is it a bad thing to have telemetry built in? I’m new to Go.

[@DanWalshTV]

As long as it remains opt-in, I don't see a problem with it. For those willing to opt-in, it'll help the development team prioritize items and for everyone else, we can ignore it.

[@hamm8934]

@@DanWalshTVi agree but its google. It wont be opt in for long

[@AlexanderBorshak]

Waiting for ENUMs! :)

[@zakariachahboun]

yup and cool printing function

[@johnboy14]

Don't understand why they don't have enums, it's a pretty standard feature in most languages. Even C has enums. I think Iterators is a welcome feature. You'd be surprised how often you'd use it.

[@XlearRetroWave]

@@johnboy14 because it doesn't need enums:
type MyEnum int
const (
_ MyEnum = iota + 1
MyEnumFoo
MyEnumBar
)
func SomeFunction(e MyEnum) {
switch e {
case MyEnumFoo:
//do some stuff
}
case MyEnumBar:
//do some stuff
}
}

From Thailand: Thank you for really good up to date information.

[@hamadrehman853]

nice overview. I'm excited to try the new sql wrapped errors

[@bokunochannel84207]

i disagree, what go team did isn't something new and having it opt-in is the right move imo, have a look at npm privacy policy.

[@iCrimzon]

Waiting for the Go vid where you wear a blue gopher costume

[@gsgregory2022]

I'm waiting to see what they decide to do with the iterators. The new struct package seems interesting though.

[@hamm8934]

Waiting for a required properties compiler flag or syntax

[@MrJannieboy]

Love the vid!

[@ZeroBl_]

Go iterators needs more cooking. :/

[@joschomo1010]

Could you post your discord link again? Its expired

[@BroodWar4Ever]

I'm new to Go, are updates released this frequently?

[@AlexRyan-pj9us]

Aw Yes, more frequent than windows updates

[@JamesRouzier]

Every 6 months or so.

@@JamesRouzier No, more often, as minor fixes are released.

[@ja31ya]

I think it depends on if they mean major updates or maintenance updates. Maintenance updates are quite frequent, probably almost once a month or month and a half, while major updates are close to 6 months.

[@JamesRouzier]

You are correct minor release when needed and a major release every 6 months or so

[@zachend2750]

Iterators are a great first step for neural networks.

[@pro_542]

wow

[@Hagemony]

Learning go or flutter is a dumb idea as of now, you're pushing for your enslavement in the near future, telemetry is a no go area for me period!!!

[@hashirventhodi]

Why????

[@pookiepats]

pander harder bro what a lame output, literally opt in

[@MelkeyDev]

wait what lol?

[@x5HighDesert]

@@MelkeyDev I have no idea either lol

[@pookiepats]

If it’s opt in, what reasoning do you have to lament the implementation of telemetry when it’s off by default other than to pander.
If you can’t grasp that it’s odd you would even comment on it at all.

[@hamm8934]

@@pookiepatsfor now. Its google after all

[@ScottAshmead]

ok uninstalling and done learning Go..... I am not going to be a boiling frog.... they were going to put this in earlier but backlash so they put it in later .... opt-in now but it will be opt-out later
