“Our Response To The eMudhra Key Disclosure Incident” by Roland Shoemaker, on behalf of the Go Security team — https://go.dev/blog/emudhra-incident #golang

I don’t know if these are all real @xeiaso.net posts or a bug in my RSS reader, and I love that for us.

The 2026 Go Developer Survey is open! Help set Go’s priorities for next year by telling us how you use Go and where it could be better. ⏱️ 10–20 minutes 📅 Open through November 3 blink.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... #golang

THIS IS NOT A DRILL. If you package/distribute/maintain root stores or chain verifiers, act immediately. If you know how to remove trust in a root, consider doing it now. Otherwise, prepare to update systems as patches/mitigations come. Go users, update to Go 1.27.3 or Go 1.26.10.

The monotonic clock used on Windows by time.Now will have a resolution of 100 nanoseconds starting in Go 1.28 🥳. Previously, its resolution was on the order of milliseconds . This will improves the precision of elapsed-time measurements, such as those made with time.Since. go.dev/cl/847925 #golang

👩🏽‍🔬 Go 1.27.3 and 1.26.10 are released! 🔐 Security: Includes 1 security fixes to the standard library. 🗣 Announcement: https://groups.google.com/g/golang-announce/c/66pojueaQek/m/tmWX2Pq9AgAJ 📦 Download: https://go.dev/dl/#go1.27.3 #golang

Hacking the Go compiler to efficiently map IPv4 to IPv6: vincent.bernat.ch/en/blog/2026.... This post digs in how to modify the Go compiler to reduce netip.AddrFrom16()+netip.As16() to almost nothing, first through the noding process, then with rewrite rules for the SSA form.

Time to set up gVisor to sandbox even the GUI applications I run? Back when we started gVisor I never imagined we'd run anything this complex. It's amazing to see how far the project has come! gvisor.dev/blog/2026/09...

“Size-Specialized Memory Allocation” by Michael Matloob — https://go.dev/blog/size-specialized-allocations #golang

I’m very, very happy to share that I have just joined the core Go team at Google to work on the Go runtime and compiler! I’ve been pitching in as an external contributor since 2018, but now my very enjoyable hobby is becoming my day job 😅 (Also, my name is PJ 👋)

“Goroutine Leak Profiles” by Vlad Saioc — https://go.dev/blog/goroutine-leak-profiles #golang

I've updated the "Go features by version" list with the latest changes from 1.27. This is not a replacement for release notes, but rather a quick summary of major features in any given Go version. antonz.org/go-features/...

The new JSON package is finally production-ready in Go 1.27, so I've updated my JSON v2 guide. It explains all the main differences between the json and json/v2 packages, with interactive examples for each one. Check it out! antonz.org/go-json-v2

No more creating non-nil empty lists for JSON. 🥳

Generic methods! encoding/json/v2! goroutine leak profiles! Dare I say this is the best Go release yet?

The goroutine leak detector will become generally available in Go 1.27. But did you know you can also use synctest (Go 1.25+) to catch goroutine leaks in tests? See how the two approaches compare: antonz.org/detecting-go...

I just finished Toward Eternity by @antonhur.com. Beautiful story and definitely my favorite book I've read this year. And I found it thanks to BlueSky!

excited to talk about the (mostly) boring vulns we have, with a slight digression about how LLMs have completely turned the way vulns are found upside down 🙃

TypeScript is now officially written in Go.

Keep it that way.

This is a fun one: I just sent go.dev/cl/790740, which elides method wrappers for embedded types at offset zero, common for mixins/inherited data types. Doing this removes 60 _thousand_ method wrappers from tsgo's AST package, dropping the compilation of our main exe from 49s to 28s on my machine.

New rule dropped: anything above 11239 isn't the real Brooklyn.

PSA: Green Tea GC in go1.26 is incredible 🚀 This is what we saw for two big Go services. We'll try to gather more data and share it soon.

My talk was accepted to GopherCon 2026 in Seattle! I'm back with more TypeScript+Go goodness, this time with another year's worth of experience under our belt. I had a blast at last year's conference, so here's to yet another one! www.gophercon.com/agenda/speak...

A bit over two years after starting to work on it... Go is officially FIPS 140-3 certified 💥 csrc.nist.gov/projects/cry... I am pretty confident Go is now one of the most—if not the most—seamless and complete FIPS 140-3 compliance solutions... with a single env var, out of the box.

csrc.nist.gov/projects/cry... CMVP has (finally!) Validated the Go Crytogrpahy Module for FIPS 140-3. Congrats and Thank you to @geomys.org and @filippo.abyssdomain.expert

@philpearl.bsky.social looked at #golang Swiss tables performance ⭐️ philpearl.github.io/post/swissing_a_table/

Here's an example. Average rent in LA for a 1 BR is $2500. A woman that lives in LA and earns an hourly wage, knows that if she can't work for a month, she needs to come up with $2500 or she will be homeless. After bills, she has only $200 left over. She saves almost all of it, and doesn't eat out.

Holy cheese my untyped composite literal proposal from 2015 just got accepted. #golang github.com/golang/go/is...
