This installs the go tool as go111; all the supporting files go under $PREFIX/go111, so it does not conflict with other Go versions. Go packages in pkgsrc do not use it to build yet. Changes: There are many changes and improvements to the toolchain, runtime, and libraries, but two features stand out as being especially exciting: modules and WebAssembly support. This release adds preliminary support for a new concept called "modules," an alternative to GOPATH with integrated support for versioning and package distribution. Module support is considered experimental, and there are still a few rough edges to smooth out, so please make liberal use of the issue tracker. Go 1.11 also adds an experimental port to WebAssembly (js/wasm). This allows programmers to compile Go programs to a binary format compatible with four major web browsers.

The Go programming language is an open source project to make
|
|
programmers more productive.
|
|
|
|
Go is expressive, concise, clean, and efficient. Its concurrency
|
|
mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of
|
|
multicore and networked machines, while its novel type system enables
|
|
flexible and modular program construction. Go compiles quickly to
|
|
machine code yet has the convenience of garbage collection and the power
|
|
of run-time reflection. It's a fast, statically typed, compiled language
|
|
that feels like a dynamically typed, interpreted language.
