Welcome to Continue: Go Proposals edition! Each edition of this show will handle a specific topic that can be covered continuously. This edition is for Go Proposals. Each week Kris and Matt will cover proposals they think you should keep an eye on, some hidden gem proposals that should be getting more attention, and some proposals that deserve some more discussion. Our goal is to provide you with a way to stay on top of what's happening in the Go ecosystem without having to dig through the proposal issue queue yourself.

Proposals to Keep an Eye On:

• #80607 proposal: spec: define sum types as an extension of interfaces
• #80448 proposal: spec: generic associated type
• #44253 proposal: spec: generic parameterization of array sizes
• #80598 proposal: unsafe: add Transmute generic function for convenient type reinterpretation
• #80808 proposal: crypto/rsa: PKCS1.5 implicit rejection *or* remove support altogether

Proposals Discussed:

• #76920 proposal: sum types as a non-interface union type
• #80645 proposal: sync: add new type Counter, a sharded counter
• #77020 proposal: cmd/go: add -buildversion build flag
• #80878 proposal: x/tools/imports: speed up repeated Process calls by reusing the environment [Continued]

Hidden Gem Proposals:

• #78860 proposal: cmd/go: add FileHashes to go list -json output
• #80434 proposal: s/sys/unix: add Recvmmsg on Linux
