Languages & Runtimes
- Go 1.27 brings generic methods, a post-quantum cryptography package (
crypto/mlkem768), a rewritten JSON engine, and a standard-library UUID package. The compiler now generates size-specialized memory allocation routines, cutting small allocation costs (under 80 bytes) by up to 30%, with ~1% overall real-world gains at the cost of 60 KB extra binary size. Generic methods still cannot be used in interface declarations. Read more - Roc language published a mini-tutorial for its new bleeding-edge rewritten compiler, available as a nightly build. The new compiler is far from polished, with missing features and minimal documentation, but adventurous developers can explore the revised language and compiler design. Read more
