"Users of the Go language can expect improved support for AI coding agents in the coming year, according to the Go team. Also in the works is an overhauled go fix command that promises greater developer productivity. In a November 14 blog post marking the 16th anniversary of Google's open source release of Go as an experimental language, the Go team noted development plans for the year head."
"The upcoming Go 1.26 release, meanwhile, will include a total overhaul of the go fix command, a tool that uses static code analyzers to find old idioms and suggests modern replacements. With Go 1.26, expected to be released in February 2026, go fix - currently a dormant command with obsolete analyzers - will feature a suite of new analyzers that will suggest fixes that use newer features of the Go language and library."
Improved support for AI coding agents is planned for the Go language over the coming year. The plan includes building clearer pathways for integrating Go with AI and evolving platform tooling to serve both human developers and AI assistants. Go 1.26 will completely overhaul the go fix command, replacing obsolete static analyzers with a suite of new analyzers that suggest modern idioms using newer language and library features. Go 1.26 is expected in February 2026. Continued improvements to the gopls language server and the VS Code Go extension are planned to enhance developer productivity.
