Details

This is the Go programming language, version 1.24 (released February 2025). This release focused heavily on runtime and toolchain performance. Key features include a new implementation for maps based on Swiss Tables, resulting in faster map operations and 2-3% lower CPU overhead on average. For developers, it introduced a new tool directive in go.mod to track tool dependencies (replacing the old tools.go pattern), added a new testing.B.Loop method for simpler benchmarking, and expanded the vet tool to find common errors in test functions.
