Hello, there! One GoLang feature proposal about immutability is here 🙂
It’s a really interesting idea with pros and cons inside, it has a good explanation, use cases and examples for the following proposed changes: fields, arguments, variables, return values, methods reference types (Pointers, slices, maps, channels). This approach merits attention if you are interested in paths of GoLang development, so, have a good reading! 😉
