+title: Go 1.18 is released!
+date: 2022-03-15
+by: The Go team
+summary: Go 1.18 adds generics, native fuzzing, workspace mode, performance improvements, and more.
+---
+
+Today the Go team is thrilled to release Go 1.18,
+which you can get by visiting the [download page](/dl/).
+
+Go 1.18 is a massive release that includes new features,
+performance improvements, and our biggest change ever to the language.
+It isn't a stretch to say that the design for parts of Go 1.18
+started over a decade ago when we first released Go.
+
+## Generics
+
+In Go 1.18, we're introducing new support for
+[generic code using parameterized types](/blog/why-generics).
+Supporting generics has been Go's most often requested feature,
+and we're proud to deliver the generic support that the majority of users need today.
+Subsequent releases will provide additional support for some of
+the more complicated generic use cases.
+We encourage you to get to know this new feature using our
+[generics tutorial](/doc/tutorial/generics),
+and to explore the best ways to use generics to optimize and simplify your code today.
+The [release notes](/doc/go1.18) have more details about using generics in Go 1.18.
+
+## Fuzzing
+
+With Go 1.18, Go is the first major language with fuzzing
+fully integrated into its standard toolchain.
+Like generics, fuzzing has been in design for a long time,
+and we're delighted to share it with the Go ecosystem with this release.
+Please check out our
+[fuzzing tutorial](/doc/tutorial/fuzz)
+to help you get started with this new feature.
+
+## Workspaces
+
+Go modules have been almost universally adopted,
+and Go users have reported very high satisfaction scores in our annual surveys.
+In our 2021 user survey, the most common challenge
+users identified with modules
+was working across multiple modules.
+In Go 1.18, we've addressed this with a new
+[Go workspace mode](/doc/tutorial/workspaces),
+which makes it simple to work with multiple modules.
+
+
+## 20% Performance Improvements
+
+Apple M1, ARM64, and PowerPC64 users rejoice!
+Go 1.18 includes CPU performance improvements of up to 20%
+due to the expansion of Go 1.17’s register ABI calling convention to these architectures.
+Just to underscore how big this release is, a 20% performance improvement
+is the fourth most important headline!
+
+For a more detailed description of everything that's in 1.18,
+please consult the [release notes](/doc/go1.18).
+
+Go 1.18 is a huge milestone for the entire Go community.
+We want to thank every Go user who filed a bug, sent in a change, wrote a tutorial,
+or helped in any way to make Go 1.18 a reality.
+We couldn't do it without you.
+Thank you.
+
+Enjoy Go 1.18!
+
