Google officials have stated that the Go programming language will be updated in the near future to address the community's needs and issues, while the development of Golang2 is not being planned at all. According to the announcement, new Go tool chains will continue to support old Go programs. More: - The updates were mentioned by several Google engineers and managers, such as Russ Cox and Cody Oss, at the Go Day 2022 talk. During this virtually held event, Google employees discussed the future of the Go language.
- According to Cody Oss, Google is considering adding fuzzing, a type of automated testing that continuously manipulates program inputs to find bugs.
- He added that Go might use fuzzing beyond numeric types and strings with the purpose of making security checks more efficient and secure.
- The Go team also confirmed that the language is being updated with compatibility as a key factor, something that developers have appreciated about the language throughout the 13 years it has been used.
- Go, released in 2009, has exceeded all expectations. The language has been widely adopted by the community and has seen consistent growth.
- Go is used by 48% of developers worldwide on a daily basis and is one of the top 5 most popular programming languages globally.

Gitpod has raised a $25M funding round to build Cloud Development Environments, which the company defines as workspaces in the cloud. The company aims to move the process of writing software code from local PCs to the cloud. More: - Research shows that developers waste up to five hours per week due to developer environment problems, something that Cloud Development Environments, a phrase Gitpod coined to describe its new feature, helps with.
- The company believes that Gitpod has the potential to grow because it makes the process of writing software efficient and fast.
- According to the company, writing software on a local machine is inefficient due to drifting configuration within software teams. The company believes its product will fix this issue by providing automation, collaboration, and security benefits.
- Tom Preston-Werner, founder and former CEO at GitHub, led the round, with participation from General Catalyst, Crane Venture Partners, Vertex Ventures US Speedinvest, Pebblebed, GTMfund, MongoDB Ventures, Tobi Lütke (founder and CEO of Shopify) and Olivier Pome.

A new industry survey claims that no-code tools will lead to security breaches in the future because those creating apps with these tools do not necessarily have experience with advanced tech. The statement comes as part of a survey conducted with tech industry executives and developers. More: - The report states that organizations should involve their security teams to review access and roles given to citizen developers who use the low-code/no-code platform. Security teams should also monitor the development and deployment process in order to avoid threat actors that use social engineering.
- According to the survey, 39% of the surveyed companies stated that they use low-code tools, while another 27% plan to do so in the next year, meaning that over 65% of tech companies could be adopting the technology soon.
- This means that hundreds of millions of internet users will be using apps that were built with no-code tech, leaving a potentially massive vulnerability open.
- Companies refer to those who build apps with no-code and low-code tools as citizen developers.
- Citizen developers could serve as a pool of talent that could reduce the need for developers, as the market gap for market developers and the number of jobs created continues to get wider with each year.
