Re: Updating from Go 1.17 to 1.18

[Pier-Hugues Pellerin]

Hello Katherine and Ludovic,

I've finally had the time to push the patches[0], my house was hit hard by sickness.

Concerning having Go 1.18 as the default version, I think it's on Ludovic side to create a

branch to see where things breaks..

Not sure where the outputs will be but I am sure we will have a few dependencies to fix

It will be good to work together to fix them.

Thanks

Thanks for looking into how the Go team will be bootstrapping, and I
agree with your plan. Is there anything I can do to help?
