Go 1.2 released

[Posted December 2, 2013 by corbet]

Version 1.2 of the Go language has been released. "This new release comes nearly seven months after the release of Go 1.1 in May, a much shorter period than the 14 months between 1.1 and 1.0. We anticipate a comparable interval between future major releases." See the release notes for details on the changes this time around, which include three-index slices, a preemptive goroutine scheduler, a test coverage analyzer, and more.

No generics. Poor quality GC with a global heap. Lame.

Not being aware of everything ever posted on slashdot (who reads that, anyway?) is not an indication that your humou?r module has anything wrong with it at all.
