| ## Help shape the future of Go |
| |
| Since 2016, thousands of Gophers around the world have helped the Go project |
| by sharing their thoughts via our annual Go Developer Survey. |
| Your feedback has played an enormous role in driving changes to our language, |
| ecosystem, and community, including the gopls language server, |
| the latest generics draft, the module mirror, and so much more. |
| And of course, we publicly share [each year's results](https://blog.golang.org/survey2019-results), |
| so we can all benefit from the community's insights. |
| |
| This year we’ve streamlined the survey to shorten the time it takes to |
| complete and improved the survey’s accessibility. |
| The specific questions each person will see are randomly selected, |
| so folks who’ve taken the survey in prior years may not see all of the |
| questions they are used to. |
| Rest assured that they are still there. This approach allows us to ask about |
| a wider variety of topics than in prior years while also reducing the survey’s length. |
| |
| Today we are launching the 2020 Go Developer Survey. |
| We'd love to hear from everyone who uses Go, |
| used to use Go, or is interested in using Go, |
| to help ensure the language, community, and ecosystem fit the needs of the |
| people closest to it. |
| Please help us shape Go's future by participating in this 10-minute survey by November 8th: |

| |
| ## Spread the word! |
| |
| We need as many Gophers as possible to participate in this survey to help |
| us better understand our global user base. |
| We'd be grateful if you would spread the word by sharing this post on your |
| social network feeds, |
| around the office, at virtual meet-ups, and in other communities. Thank you! |
