Since Go1.10, go test runs vet on the tests before executing them.
Moreover, the vet tool typechecks the package under analysis with
go/types before running. In Go1.10, a typechecking failure just caused
a warning to be printed. In Go1.11, a typechecking failure will cause
vet to exit with a fatal error (see Issue #21287).
This means that starting with Go1.11, tests that don't typecheck will
fail immediately. This would not normally be an issue, since a test
that doesn't typecheck shouldn't even compile, and it should already
be broken.
Unfortunately, there's a bug in gc that makes it accept programs with
unused variables inside a closure (Issue #3059). This means that a
test with an unused variable inside a closure, that compiled and
passed in Go1.10, will fail in the typechecking step of vet starting
with Go1.11.
Explain this in the 1.11 release notes.

This is close to a complete rewrite, as the content was pretty old.
The CL includes links to the Wiki for information about companies
using Go, a new section about IDEs and editors¹, and a restatement
of the foreign function interface story. It also modernizes and
expands a little on the use of Go inside Google.
