Go is an open source programming environment that makes it easy to build
simple, reliable, and efficient software.
FreeBSD allows you to install multiple versions of Go at the same time.
As a result, this package installs only versioned binaries (i.e. goXYZ,
gofmtXYZ). To get unversioned names (go, gofmt, etc.) install the "go"
package or the lang/go port.
===> The following configuration options are available for go126-1.26.10:
====> Options available for the single GOAMD64: you have to select exactly one of them
V1=on: Use baseline x86-64 instruction set
V2=off: V1 instructions plus CMPXCHG16B, LAHF, SAHF, POPCNT, SSE*
V3=off: V2 instructions plus AVX*, BMI*, F16C, FMA, LZCNT, MOVBE, OSXSAVE
V4=off: V3 instructions plus AVX512*
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings

lang/go126: Add go 1.26
From https://go.dev/doc/go1.26:
The latest Go release, version 1.26, arrives in February 2026, six
months after Go 1.25. Most of its changes are in the implementation
of the toolchain, runtime, and libraries. As always, the release
maintains the Go 1 promise of compatibility. We expect almost all Go
programs to continue to compile and run as before.
There are exciting updates in this new Go minor:
- New Green Tea-based garbage collector that cuts GC overhead by an
observed 10-40%.
- cgo runtime overhead reduced by an observed 30%.
- `go fix` has been rewritten as is now Go's official modernizer. In
particular, it includes all of `go vet`'s heuristics, making it
possible to fix the things that the latter identifies.
- Heap base address is now randomized.
- pprof can now (experimentally) identify leaked goroutines.
- New crypto/hpke package includes support for quantum-vulnerable and
post-quantum hybrid KEMs.
