As far as I know, most new features are opt in - I’d be curious what issues you’ve seen? I recall one recent one that bit me in dependencies on private repos is the new mirror/sum where we need to `export GOPRIVATE=github.com/<us>`. In a way I’m thankful it was so simple, but while I figured out what happened I wasn’t very happy.


Go Modules are opt-in if you are trying to submit pr's? Either you use >1.13 or you don't submit the pr.

I hate to be the rust shill but updating it is "rustup update" I dont have look anything up nor put in any effort, why exactly should a common process which will happen millions of times be so hard for Go to replicate? It's absurd and should be called out.

Updating out of the box is a massive pain and I stand by that statement, it's hilarious how people get so defensive of what is absurdly poor UX for a modern language.

Docs for anyone interested. You need to uninstall the previous version before going through this process. Again to reiterate, all it take in rust is "rustup update".
