Accepted: go vet will flag fmt.Sprintf("%d", ptr) as an error. Formatting a pointer with %d instead of dereferencing it is almost always a bug. https://github.com/golang/go/issues/62595 #golang

Go proposal #80590: generic collection types targeting Go 1.28, from the Collections working group. Covers the container/... packages with proper generics support. https://github.com/golang/go/issues/80590 #golang

Proposal: add container/hash.Set to the stdlib, a generic hash-based set using custom hash and equivalence functions. Pairs with the existing hash.Map proposal. https://github.com/golang/go/issues/80584 #golang

Go 1.28 adds vet checks for missing .Err() calls on bufio.Scanner and sql.Rows. Silent error-swallowing on those two is a common real-world bug, now caught at build time. https://github.com/golang/go/issues/17747 #golang
