I needed Go 1.10 to debug and fix a test failure on that Go version in
x/tools, but I forgot what the magic 'go get' command for this was.
Googling "download specific golang version" and similar keywords showed
no results, presumably because the golang.org/dl subrepo isn't
prominently recommended nor documented anywhere.
The most appropriate documentation page to add this to is doc/install,
since it goes into some detail and is well indexed. We only need a short
section to introduce the trick.
The example does mention a specific version, Go 1.10.7, but I couldn't
imagine a way to make it version-agnostic while still being clear on
what the commands effectively do.

The spec currently provides a syntactic rule for receiver base types,
and a strict reading of those rules prohibits the use of type aliases
referring to pointer types as receiver types.
This strict interpretation breaks an assumed rule for aliases, which
is that a type literal can always be replaced by an alias denoting
that literal.
Furthermore, cmd/compile always accepted this new formulation of the
receiver type rules and so this change will simply validate what has
been implemented all along.

I've linked the gophers discord. It's a well administered discord which already got many members, but it was never officially linked. For many people it's a quality proof if a discord is linked on the official page. I think there are much more people out there, who would prefer to use discord instead of slack or irc.
The discord already got many users without even being promoted, so it's very likely there are many people who are interested in a discord, but they don't want to use unofficial discords. This discord shouldn't be seen as a competitor for the slack, it's a platform for those, who don't want to use slack.

The spec used the term "conversion" somewhat indiscriminately for
explicit conversions that appear literally in the source, and implicit
conversions that are implied by the context of an expression.
Be clearer about it by defining the terms.
Also, state that integer to string conversions of the form string(x)
are never implicit. This clarifies situations where implicit conversions
might require an integer to change to a string (but don't and never have
done so). See line 3948.

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.
