Go 1.21 RC

go.dev Go 1.21 Release Candidate - The Go Programming Language

Go 1.21 RC brings language improvements, new standard library packages, PGO GA, backward and forward compatibility in the toolchain and faster builds.

Go 1.21 Release Candidate - The Go Programming Language

Go 1.21 release candidate is available.

It has some interesting changes in my opinion:

  • clear() for clearing maps
  • new slices package for common operations on slices
  • new maps package for cloning and comparing maps

And some somewhat interesting ones:

  • min/max function directly in the language without a package (could have easily been in math package, but then again, you can min/max strings with this?)
  • structured logging package

Some other optimizations and improvements.

What do you think?
