Annual Survey for Go Developers
The Go team has launched its annual developer survey for 2026. This initiative aims to collect data on how developers use Go and the obstacles they encounter in their work. The survey is a direct channel for the community to influence the direction and focus of the Go project's development efforts.
Impact of Past Feedback
Previous surveys have directly informed Go's development roadmap. For instance, the 2025 survey identified code best practices and Go idioms as a top frustration for 33% of respondents. In response, Go 1.26 introduced a rewritten `go fix` tool for automatic code modernization, with further modernizers added in Go 1.27.
Participation Details
The 2026 survey is open until November 3. It is designed to take approximately 10–20 minutes to complete, and all questions are optional. The Go team encourages all Go developers to participate and share the survey within their networks to ensure a broad range of feedback. Results from the survey are expected to be published on the Go blog in early 2027.
