Moving Forward with V2 Packages in the Go Standard Library
The Go community is adapting to the introduction of V2 packages in the standard library, starting with the math/rand package. This approach allows for maintaining backward compatibility while incorporating new features and improvements. The plan ensures V1 packages can be thin wrappers over V2 packages, enabling bug fixes and updates to flow seamlessly.
