| Today the Go team is very happy to announce the release of Go 1.14. You can get it from the [download page](https://golang.org/dl). |
| |
| Some of the highlights include: |

| - [Embedding interfaces with overlapping method sets](https://golang.org/doc/go1.14#language) |
| - [Improved defer performance](https://golang.org/doc/go1.14#runtime) |
| - [Goroutines are asynchronously preemptible](https://golang.org/doc/go1.14#runtime) |
| - [The page allocator is more efficient](https://golang.org/doc/go1.14#runtime) |
| - [Internal timers are more efficient](https://golang.org/doc/go1.14#runtime) |
| |
