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.

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.

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.

Many parts of the FAQ are dusty and need cleaning up.
This is the first of a series of changes to bring it up to date.
Since it was first written at the time of release, some of the
ideas and background have changed, and some historical
remarks are largely irrelevant now.
Update #26107.

The name was "Mac OS X" during versions 10.0 to 10.7.
It was renamed to "OS X" starting from 10.8 until 10.11.
The current name is "macOS" starting with 10.12. [1]
Previous changes (e.g., CL 47252) updated "Mac OS X" to macOS
in some places, but not everywhere. This CL updates remaining
instances for consistency.
Only the pages that display current information were updated;
historical pages such as release notes for older Go releases,
past articles, blog posts, etc., were left in original form.
Rename the "#osx" anchor to "#macos" on /doc/install page,
along with the single reference to it on the same page.
Add an empty div with id="osx" to not break old links.
Update minimum macOS version from 10.8 to 10.10 per #23122.

The phrase "couple X" is considered colloquial, so make that "a couple of X".
Also move the start of a sentence to a new line in a couple of places
for easier editing, in one place thereby removing two spaces after a period.

The videos on the front page are always the same width, regardless of
the viewport width. These changes let the video fill the space given
to its container regardless of layout. It uses the standard hack for
making iframes responsive, but the videos are loaded at random and do
not have uniform aspect ratios so that information is injected into the
DOM using custom properties. If these are not supported, it falls back
to the same layout present before this change.
Note: this change also requires CL 108678 to complete the fix,
though either CL without the other is harmless.

In the binary sizes FAQ, the approximate size of a Go hello world
binary was said to be 1.5MB (it was about 1.6MB on go1.7 on
linux/amd64). Sadly, this is no longer true. A Go1.10 hello world is
2.0MB, and in 1.11 it'll be about 2.5MB.
Just say "a couple megabytes" to stop this dance.

GOMIPS64 is a GOARCH=mips64{,le} specific option, for a choice between

The example in the 'A web server' section of the effective Go document
uses Google's image charts API (at chart.apis.google.com).
The service is now deprecated (see developers.google.com/chart/image),
and visiting http://chart.apis.google.com gives a 404. The endpoint is
still active, so the Go code in the example still works, but there's
no point in making the link clickable by the user if the page returns
a 404.
Change the element to `<code>`.

The existing text makes it seem like there's no way
to use GitHub over HTTPS. There is. Explain that.
Also, the existing text suggests explicit checkout into $GOPATH,
which is not going to work in the new module world.
Drop that alternative.
Also, the existing text uses pushInsteadOf instead of insteadOf,
which would have the effect of being able to push to a private
repo but not clone it in the first place. That seems not helpful,
so suggest insteadOf instead.

The previous CL, 107197, overclarified the need for short subject
lines. Tweak the wording to be a guideline (keep it short) rather
than a limit (76 characters), which is more the Go way.
Also be strict about avoiding markup language.
