It’s always a pleasure to read Anton’s Go write ups. Excerpt from the summary:
> Go 1.26 is incredibly big — it's the largest release I've ever seen, and for good reason:
> It brings a lot of useful updates, like the improved new builtin, type-safe error checking, and goroutine leak detector.
> There are also many performance upgrades, including the new garbage collector, faster cgo and memory allocation, and optimized fmt.Errorf and io.ReadAll.
> On top of that, it adds quality-of-life features like multiple log handlers, test artifacts, and the updated go fix tool.
> Finally, there are two specialized experimental packages: one with SIMD support and another with protected mode for forward secrecy.
