Boring is good. Boring is stable. Boring means being able to focus on your work, not on what’s different about Go. This post is about the important work we shipped in Go 1.21 to keep Go boring.

There will not be a Go 2 that breaks Go 1 programs. Instead, we are going to double down on compatibility, which is far more valuable than any possible break with the past. In fact, we believe that prioritizing compatibility was the most important design decision we made for Go 1.

Would you consider Go as boring technology? 🤔 sometimes I feel that its simplicity gives less unknown unknowns, and more "boring".

well, boring tech link is about battle tested tech, not about hype, so, in that sense, yeah, seems “boring” to me, but I love it, :)
