Go 1.13 released

Tue, 03 Sep 2019 19:31:00 +0000

The latest Go release, version 1.13, arrives six months after Go 1.12. Most of its changes are in the implementation of the toolchain, runtime, and libraries. As always, the release maintains the Go 1 promise of compatibility. We expect almost all Go programs to continue to compile and run as before.

As of Go 1.13, the go command by default downloads and authenticates modules using the Go module mirror and Go checksum database run by Google. See https://proxy.golang.org/privacy for privacy information about these services and the go command documentation for configuration details including how to disable the use of these servers or use different ones. If you depend on non-public modules, see the documentation for configuring your environment.

We are all on the path to Go 2, together, but none of us know exactly where that path leads or sometimes even which direction the path goes. This post discusses how we actually find and follow the path to Go 2. Here’s what the process looks like: Experiment <-> Simplify

Benchmark storage and analysis system #profiling

Wed, 08 Mar 2017 15:37:00 +0000

We're happy to announce the launch of https://perf.golang.org/, a benchmark storage and analysis system. It provides a standard place to share benchmark results. If you make changes to any performance-sensitive code, run the Go benchmarks as you normally do. If you’re not using it already, please use benchstat instead of benchcmp to compare benchmark results. Benchstat computes statistics across multiple runs of a benchmark and determines whether differences between old and new runs are statistically significant.

When you want to publish a benchmark result (for example, when you are ready to mail a CL), run benchsave instead of benchstat (benchsave old.txt new.txt). This will upload the results and print benchstat output as well as a URL; please include both in your CL description.
