go
- Replaces
nim - Relatively harder to bootstrap from source (see below to get to
1.24):
- Build Go 1.4 from C (the last version with a C compiler)- Use Go 1.4 to build Go 1.17 (the minimum required for Go 1.20)- Use Go 1.17 to build Go 1.20 (the minimum required for Go 1.22)- Use Go 1.20 to build Go 1.22 (the minimum required for Go 1.24)- Use Go 1.22 to build Go 1.24- Bootstrapping will only get longer for future releases (as newer releases will only support being built with the recent 2 older releases)
