This v2 idea in the stdlib should have started even earlier. So I am glad we are getting a better API for json/v2.

This pragmatic attitude towards software engineering is exactly why I still reach for Go for pretty much everything these days. I still read and review code.

So working with a language that doesn't throw a splash of sigil soup on my face is quite nice while reviewing clanker output. Also, being able to do all this without needing 5 crates is nice. Oh the fast build time helps too.

It WAS started earlier, math/rand/v2 was added in 2024 (Go 1.22)

I love it too, it’s a great way to keep the stdlib moving without actually breaking anything. Simple and efficient design.
