Go 1.18, the biggest release of the Go language since Go 1.0 in March 2012, is expected
to be released in February.
The first beta was released in December with two features which, each on their own, would have
made the release a big one. It adds support for generic types and native
support for fuzz testing.
In the blog post announcing the
beta, core developer Russ Cox emphasized that the release “represents
an enormous amount of work“.
