There are no "news", but I'm worried about this business actually. I'm in knowledge that post already exists but I'm not clear at all.

Resuming: Google is trying to add telemetry to Go's toolchain (such as .NET and Dart/Flutter). It also added the GOPROXY environment variable that uses the Google's Go proxy to... Just collect more user data?

I'm a pretty beginner Go dev, but I'd like a toolchain without these telemetry or at least some instruction of how to opt out this thing.

Sorry for repost, but I don't find enough information in any other place. :(

Lmao Hope you're not right (I mean, I hope no telemetry is imposed on my favorite programming language). But as you said, Google tracking/survillance history say that people privacy really don't concerns him

You can always switch to another language later on if anything goes south, since a lot of the thought process is the same behind the scripting 🤞

Rust is my "alternative". But I see Rust pretty hard (is a system level programming language lol) and differently scoped.

I like some Go characteristics like garbage collection, simpler syntax, crossplatform, 1 second C bindings, and so on.
