GopherCon 2025, New York
Had a fantastic time at GopherCon! This was my first visit to New York, and first time speaking overseas.
GopherCon is the mothership of conferences for us Gophers, and it certainly didn’t disappoint. We saw Filippo Valsorda’s Go Cryptography State of the Union, Bill Kennedy’s Understanding Escape Analysis and, of course, Cameron Balahan with Go’s Next Frontier.
GopherCon 25 had an electric atmosphere and a friendly and welcoming crowd. It was a great opportunity to meet some of the Go core dev team. Michael Knyszek was there doing a talk about his new Garbage Collector, and was kind enough to chat to me afterwards about programming and chip design.
You can find the slides for Go Faster here.
By the look of the GopherCon website, GopherCon ‘26 is going to be a blast - Seattle here we come!
Special thanks to the sponsors CodePros, for providing the Matrix gophers.
