Final Go panel - part 2
summary
Examples of real failures and fixes: tests hit nil vs empty slices where reflect equality hides the difference, image loops mutate copies so pixel changes vanish, and slice capacity prompts an unsafe reflect slice header workaround until language changes; Juju exercise uncovers two escape analysis bugs that get fixed, race detector prints exact panics, heap compaction and stricter C interop are on the roadmap, and cross‑compilation and tiny fast CLIs prove to work in production.
