Thank you for your reply. It’s an ongoing topic.

Here’s what the Go blog said about it in 2023:  
“Go 2, in the sense of breaking with the past and no longer compiling old programs, is never going to happen. Go 2, in the sense of being the major revision of Go 1 we started toward in 2017, has already happened.”

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
