I don't agree, but if you think so, you can try making go2 better via https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/ExperienceReports

I don't believe Go 2.0 will ever happen.

So far that page looks like when our government puts out "work commission" for any ongoing problem people complain about.

Go mailing lists have almost zero meaningful activity regarding Go 2.0.

"Once all the backwards-compatible work is done, say in Go 1.20, then we can make the backwards-incompatible changes in Go 2.0. If there turn out to be no backwards-incompatible changes, maybe we just declare that Go 1.20 is Go 2.0."

So yeah, Go 2.0 might not even happen.

I would love if my government would take some inspiration from such projects, namely from this:

"We did what we always do when there's a problem without a clear solution: we waited."

If Cloudflare hadn't exploded as it did, they would not have done any fix.

So lets see what actually happens to those issues being reported.
