| summary: Consolidating our web sites onto go.dev. |
| --- |
| |
| In 2019, which seems like a decade ago, we [launched go.dev](/blog/go.dev), |
| a new hub for Go developers, along with the [companion site pkg.go.dev](https://pkg.go.dev/), |
| providing information about Go packages and modules. |
| |
| The go.dev web site contains useful information for people evaluating Go, |
| but golang.org continued to serve distribution downloads, documentation, |
| and a package reference for the standard library. |
| Other sites — blog.golang.org, play.golang.org, talks.golang.org, |
| and tour.golang.org — hold additional material. |
| It's all a bit fragmented and confusing. |
| |
| Over the next month or two we will be merging |
| the golang.org sites into |
| a single coherent web presence, here on go.dev. |
| You may have already noticed that links to the package reference docs |
| for the standard library on golang.org/pkg now redirect to |
| their [equivalents on pkg.go.dev](https://pkg.go.dev/std), |
| which is a better experience today and will continue to improve. |
| As the next step, the Go blog has moved to go.dev/blog, |
| starting with the post you are reading right now. |
| (Of course, all the old blog posts are here too.) |
| |
| As we move the content to its new home on go.dev, |
| rest assured that all existing URLs will redirect to their new homes: |
| no links will be broken. |
| |
| We are excited to have a single coherent web site |
| where everyone can find what they need to know about Go. |
| It's a small detail, but one long overdue. |
| |
| If you have any ideas or suggestions, or you run into problems, |
| please let us know via the “Report an Issue” link at the bottom of every page. |
| Thanks! |
