This is the second part of a discussion about Go language proposals that may or may not make it into the language. Listen to part one as well!

In this episode, we discuss some proposed changes to Go covering a range of subjects, from magical interfaces, to enhancing range loops, make and new with inferred types, lazy values, and more. We also talk a lot about ints, so get this episode in your ears.

When we talk about improving a programming language, we often think about what features we would add. Things like generics in Go, async/away in JS, etc. In this episode we take a different approach and talk about what we would remove from Go to make it better.

This episode is different than what you’re used to. We’ve been clipping highlights of the show for awhile now to share on Twitter and YouTube. A side effect of that effort is a bunch of awesome clips just sitting on Jerod’s hard drive collecting digital dust. So, here’s a beta test of a “best of” style clips show covering the summer months. Let us know if you like it!

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is used all over the web as a text-based way of transmitting data. In this episode, we explore Go’s encoding/json package, and others with Daniel Marti.

If you missed Go Remote Fest over the weekend then you missed this talk (slides only for now) from Daniel Martí on what’s coming in the next release of Go (Go 1.15) scheduled for August of this year.

What are you most excited about for this upcoming release of Go?
