> Now Russ Cox is in sole control of the leadership.

What makes you think that? As far as I can see, Rob, Ian, Brad, Andrew and many others are still in the decision loop.

I think one of the reasons Go is so good at being simple (relatively) - is that each feature required no other option available in order to make it into the language. I forget the article I read this from, so I may have the semantics slightly off.

With just rsc we lose a little of this. There are many other incredibly talented engineers involved such as Ian Lance Taylor. I'm interested if this philosophy will still be important in the future.

Where is the discussion of Go 2.0 happening? Are they still shutting down discussion of features they don't want to hear about like they did through all the Go 1.* years?

i didnt realize rsc was in sole control now. is that documented somewhere (out of curiosity)?
