Yay new version! Not the most exciting (as Go releases tend to be which is good), but hopefully jsonv2 and greentea can get some testing and be standard in 1.26

> greentea
I didn't know what it is and had to look it up. Looks like a new GC.
Is reading the posted article just something we don't do anymore?
To be fair, I read the article but still don't know what greentea is. The article never directly refers to the new GC by this name. It appears in a command line option value, that's about it.
> The new garbage collector may be enabled by setting GOEXPERIMENT=greenteagc at build time
I don’t know if you’d count that as directly referring to it by name but it’s there.
The sentence reads
The new garbage collector may be enabled by setting [blurred] at build time
to me, where exact flag value is automatically ignored, because I don't care what's in there. I don't pay attention to such irrelevant details
Yeah that’s extremely fair.
Haven't done that in ages. I open both the page and the comments. The first few comments usually dictate if I'm going to bother with the page.
What I want next is just an AI summary of the comments with vibe analysis ("Is this worth reading?).
