"There are no changes to the language."

It's the calm before the storm.

But I love that. :) 10 years in, Go is still my favorite language when it's the right tool for the job.

So actually, this is an exciting release IMO. Highlights:

- darwin/arm64 support (M1 chips)

- Go module quality-of-life improvements

- Built-in support for embedding files

- File system interface! (io/fs)

- Linker optimizations!

- io/ioutil -> io

- Lots of juicy crypto/* package improvements. Filippo and team are crushing it!
