I wouldn’t confuse HN with “the Go community”. The head of the Go team wrote this post. Will the coro package proposed in the post be added exactly as written? Maybe, but probably not exactly as written. Will something like it be added? I would be willing to bet money on it, yes. How long will it take? I’d say at least a year (release in Go 1.23 in August of 2024), maybe a little longer. I don’t think it could be much shorter though.

Given Go's history, there's a moderately high chance that this will be in a PR and immediately merged within the next few hours. They're a bit bipolar on "listen, wait, debate" vs "we just wrote about a new thing, it's already built and in stdlib but is largely undocumented"
I’ve never seen them do this. What are you talking about?
The whole Go module drama.
