Gold language/base library updates

Hi,

I saw that the current Gold/Golang version supported is 1.13.5. While I haven’t necessarily missed anything so far, I was wondering what the plan/roadmap is for future versions?

I am mostly wondering about the base library as I assume there might be security updates and such specifically?

Thanks!

I’m afraid we have no immediate plans to update the Go base library.

From what I understand, Go itself has changed massively since we last imported this, including adding support for generics and more. Implementing the latest Go language would be a prerequisite for being able to use the latest Go libraries, and I’m afraid the effort required for that is not currently justified by the demand we’re seeing for Go use in Elements…

We may revisit this issue in the future.
