Go 1.19 released [LWN.net]

Version 1.19 of the Go programming language has been released. "Most of its changes are in the implementation of the toolchain, runtime, and libraries. As always, the release maintains the Go 1 promise of compatibility. We expect almost all Go programs to continue to compile and run as before". This release includes some memory-model tweaks, a LoongArch port, improvements in the documentation-comment mechanism, and more.

Nice to see generics being adopted in the standard library with the new atomic.Pointer[T] removing the need to use unsafe. Hopefully there'll be more of that in 1.20.
