Google ships a pkg.go.dev API for AI coding tools

Google has opened a beta pkg.go.dev API, covering module listing and search, vulnerability lookups, and package symbol inspection, pitched squarely at AI coding tools. The golang-nuts thread is already showing what falls out of that: someone has a pkg.go.dev TUI explorer in flight, which feels like the right kind of first response. Elsewhere, a Medium piece revisits the perennial "is Java finally faster than Go for microservices" question for 2026, and a golang-nuts thread digs into allocations in a type switch inside a generic helper, which is the sort of thing that quietly eats your benchmarks.
