Where is Go going?

The Go community is already discussing the next major version of Go, which is going to be called Go 2, but there is nothing definitive at the moment.

The intention of the current Go 1 team is to make Go 2 more community driven. Although this is a good idea in general, it is always dangerous when lots of people try to make important decisions about a programming language that was initially designed and developed as an internal project by a small group of great people.

Some of the big changes that are being considered for Go 2 are generics, package versioning, and improved error handling. All these new features are under discussion at the moment and you should not be worried about them, but it is worthwhile to have an idea of the direction that Go is going in.
