Add Go 1.21
I would like to request support for the latest version of Golang, version 1.21.
Name: Golang Website: https://go.dev Language Version: 1.21 Test Frameworks: go test (built-in, ex: go test .), testify, gocheck, gopwt, gomega and many others. How to install: Please refer to the official installation documentation. How to compile/run:
- To compile a Go file, use the command
go build file.go. - To run a Go file, use the command
go run file.go.
Golang 1.21 was recently released and includes many new features and improvements over previous versions. It would be great if Codewars could support this latest version of the language.
:+1: reaction might help to get this request prioritized.
Go 1.22 was released on 2024-02-06 so perhaps we should update the title
Since Go adheres to its compatibility guarantee at the source level, I assume upgrading Go on Codewars directly should not break most Kata? Unfortunately I was not able to find the Go runner image used by Codewars
Go 1.23 has been released and we will be released in February of 2025. Versions are only officially supported for 2 versions. With 6 month release cycles, that means, 1.20 has been out of official support for some time now.
I second Go 1.23 for the next update push. There are some new features since 1.20 that will really help when working on katas:
- slices, maps, and cmp packages (1.21)
- range over integers (1.22)
- iter package (1.23)
