I am looking forward to

1. runtime/pprof package now include symbol information

2. Concurrent Map

3. Profiler Labels

4. database/sql reuse of cached statements

5. The os package now uses the internal runtime poller for file I/O.

!! that wasn't a thing until now?

It was. That summary is a bit of a simplification.

See https://golang.org/doc/go1.9#database/sql

Go 1.9 adds reuse of statement handles created off an ephemeral transaction too. But all the other statement handle cases have cached from day 1.

You could do it manually but it want automatic.
