I'm surprised to not see any mention in the comments about the biggest change coming in 1.6: the package vendoring mechanism. This has been a big missing piece for awhile and I'm glad they're addressing it in an official way.
I was super excited for the cross compilation abilities on Go 1.5 and now I have something else to be super excited for in Go 1.6, can't wait!
