It’s always a pleasure to read Anton’s Go write ups. Excerpt from the summary:
Go 1.26 is incredibly big — it's the largest release I've ever seen, and for good reason:
It brings a lot of useful updates, like the improved new builtin, type-safe error checking, and goroutine leak detector.
There are also many performance upgrades, including the new garbage collector, faster cgo and memory allocation, and optimized fmt.Errorf and io.ReadAll.
On top of that, it adds quality-of-life features like multiple log handlers, test artifacts, and the updated go fix tool.
Finally, there are two specialized experimental packages: one with SIMD support and another with protected mode for forward secrecy.
