Consider dropping support for Go 1.5 #1026
Comments
Go community tends to use 3 versions: tip/master, current and previous one. Currently, that's soon-to-be-1.9, 1.8 and 1.7. |
I'm totally ok with dropping support for Go 1.5, we're about to release Go 1.9! |
@ramya-rao-a We don't have a specific requirement. Also it shouldn't be a problem if Guru is not compatible with 1.5. What matters is the binary, the user still can use Go 1.5 but can download the binary from another location (if any) or can build |
gogetdoc doesn’t build with 1.5 and we don’t go out of our way to support it. I used to get an occasional issue or two related to 1.5 support but haven’t seen one in a year or two. If it makes your life easier I say drop it. What’s more fun than deleting code? |
With #2319 we have not stopped guarding against versions older than 1.9 |
With golint and guru (and maybe more) tools dropping support for Go 1.5, its time to consider if the Go extension would do the same as it depends on these tools for core features.
This issue is to track the findings around the usage of the Go extension with Go 1.5 and if we can support a smaller feature set for Go 1.5 or completely drop support for it
