I doubt that there will ever be a Go 2.

EDIT: For the downvoters, quoting Rob Pike in one of his presentations, "Go's design is done".

Maybe he should have said the design is done for go1.

Regardless, issues are still filed under the tag of `go2`, even by Rob Pike. There's no reason to believe that go2 won't eventually happen.

On the other hand, there's every reason to believe the "Go [a]Way" prohibition on certain language features will leave Go 2 insufficiently attractive vs Go 1 to overcome the switching costs, dragging out any migration period. See also: Python 3.
