    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.

    > All in all, a great release!
