Looks like @golang.org 1.24 is going to be pretty epic! Weak pointers, properly working finalizers alone might change the game! Then optimized maps, native fake clock, benchmarking reliability and ease of use, and tooling dependency management.. and more! antonz.org/go-1-24/ - ThreadSky

Did you see that reflect2/jsoniter is broken?
Hopefully the patch is ok, but I think we have some work to do in Prometheus etc.

Wow what an investigation! Sounds like some library was just using runtime internals unsafely 🤔

Curious why that's a Go release blocker (I didn't dive very deep into discussion)

Because they don’t want to spoil our week without taking a minute to think about it.

“Just” some library that has 300,000 dependent packages…. Including Kubernetes.
