Go 1.27.4 and 1.26.11 ship with 12 security fixes

Go 1.27.4 and 1.26.11 are out, point releases carrying twelve security fixes across the standard library and toolchain, so patching comes before anything else this week. Alongside the releases, the encoding proposal for ScalarMarshaler and ScalarUnmarshaler has been accepted, giving opaque scalar wrappers like atomic.Bool a proper interface to lean on. JetBrains also published its 2026 State of Go survey drawing on 1,836 Go developers, and the language quietly turned seventeen.
