True, but... most languages wouldn't be on version 1.x after the amount of time (and progress) that Go has. Go has a track record by now, of being very careful about breaking things, and providing tools to help fix them when they do.

Sure, Go could introduce breaking changes in 2.x. Will they? Track record says "no".

As far as I can tell, the only reason for a Go 2 (as opposed to a Go 1.nnnn) is "we introduced a breaking change". Things that were considered "Go 2" are being worked in, as the language evolves, without the need to break previously written code.
