I wanted to ask if you would consider updating the Go version available on the platform. The current version is Go 1.18.1, which was released on April 12, 2022, and is now several years behind the current Go releases.
Since Go 1.18, the language has gained many valuable improvements, including new standard library packages, performance enhancements, language refinements, tooling improvements, and quality-of-life features that make writing modern Go code much more enjoyable. Many examples, tutorials, and open-source projects now assume newer Go versions, so it’s becoming increasingly difficult to use current best practices on CodinGame.
Keeping the Go runtime reasonably up to date would make the platform more attractive for Go developers and better reflect the language as it’s used in production today.
I understand that upgrading language runtimes requires testing and maintenance, but I hope you’ll consider prioritizing an update. It would be greatly appreciated by the Go community.
Thank you for all the work you put into CodinGame!
