Go Panel
summary
Panel discusses concrete Go tooling and language moves: recommends staticcheck for daily static analysis, highlights the new runtime/metrics API and testing packages like testing/fstest and testing/quick, and explains slog design choices and community-driven API decisions. Announces a planned fix for loop variable capture after 1.21, stronger go.mod version guarantees, and intent to fold vulnerability scanning into the go toolchain (go audit/go vuln). Useful if you care about practical tooling, tests, and breaking-change timelines.
