summary

Go positions itself to lead the AI+language frontier by shipping concrete tooling: modernizers that rewrite stale idioms and APIs, an official MCP SDK and experimental MCP server to let agents use Go tooling, an ADK and agent‑to‑agent protocol, SIMD planned for Go26, and the experimental green tea garbage collector in Go25. Adoption metrics back this: 17.5% of professionals now report using Go (up from 14% last year), and Cloudflare finds Go is the top choice for API clients.
