In this PR, we follow our practice of supporting the last 2 major Go versions by updating to Go 1.23. Go 1.24 was recently released

Notable Changes Language from Go 1.22

Go 1.23 introduced two major language enhancements:

  1. Iterator Functions in for‑range Loops:
    The “range” clause now accepts iterator functions. In other words, instead of being limited to slices, arrays, maps, channels, or strings, a for‑range loop can iterate over any function that conforms to one of these signatures:

    • func(func() bool)
    • func(func(K) bool)
    • func(func(K, V) bool)
      This enables user‑defined iterators—think custom data streams or complex sequences—and has already been leveraged in new packages like iter, as well as enhanced support in slices and maps.
  2. Preview Support for Generic Type Aliases:
    Go 1.23 offers experimental support for defining generic type aliases. By building the toolchain with the environment flag

    GOEXPERIMENT=aliastypeparams

    you can write type aliases that are generic. (Note that using these generic alias types across package boundaries is not yet supported.)

What Go 1.22 Users Should Know

  • Module Versioning Matters:
    These language changes only take effect when your module’s go.mod declares a Go version of 1.23 or later. If you’re still using Go 1.22 (or a module that specifies an older version), your code will continue to behave as before.

  • Iterator Functions May Change Iteration Style:
    If you adopt the new iterator function style, your loops may look and behave differently. Review any custom iteration logic and test thoroughly when migrating.

  • Generic Type Aliases Are Experimental:
    Since support for generic type aliases is in preview, expect that some details might evolve in future releases. Use them with caution, especially in public APIs or across packages.

While Go 1.23 also brings improvements in tooling, runtime performance, and standard library enhancements, these two language features are the standout changes that directly affect how you write Go code.

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

  • Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
    • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
    • Generate unit testing code for this file.
    • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
  • Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
    • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
  • PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
    • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
    • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
    • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

I found an example of using iterators in the spec:

// fibo generates the Fibonacci sequence
fibo := func(yield func(x int) bool) {
	f0, f1 := 0, 1
	for yield(f0) {
		f0, f1 = f1, f0+f1
	}
}

// print the Fibonacci numbers below 1000:
for x := range fibo {
	if x >= 1000 {
		break
	}
	fmt.Printf("%d ", x)
}
// output: 0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 144 233 377 610 987

Looks nice!
