| In July 2012, Rob Pike and I presented a talk at OSCON titled _The path to Go 1_. |
| In it we explain how Go 1 came to be, and outline the process by which Go |
| was refined and stabilized to become the clean, |
| consistent programming environment that it is today. |
| We present the major highlights of the release and discuss the details behind |
| some specific libraries and tools. |

| The slides for the talk are [available here](/talks/2012/go1.slide). |
| |
| It's almost a year since we cut Go 1.0 and we are now busy preparing Go 1.1. |
| The release will include performance improvements to the gc compiler, |
| garbage collector, and goroutine scheduler, |
| some standard library additions, and many bug fixes and other improvements. |
| Stay tuned, as we hope to release Go 1.1 in the coming weeks. |
