+<h2 id="Roadmap">Go Roadmap</h2>
+
+<p>
+This page lists features and ideas being developed or discussed by the
+Go team.  This list will be updated as work continues.
+
+<p>
+The roadmap should be discussed on
+the <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/golang-nuts">golang-nuts
+mailing list</a>.
+
+<h3 id="Language_roadmap">
+Language roadmap</h3>
+
+<p>
+This is a list of language changes that are being considered.
+Appearance on this list is no guarantee that the change will be
+accepted.
+
+<ul>
+<li>
+Possibly rewrite restriction on goto across variable declarations.
+<li>
+Variant types.  A way to define a type as being the union of some set
+of types.
+<li>
+Generics.  An active topic of discussion.
+<li>
+Methods for operators, to allow a type to use arithmetic notation for
+expressions.
+<li>
+Possibly allow top-level packages to be given names other than main.
+</ul>
+
+<h3 id="Implementation_roadmap">
+Implementation roadmap</h3>
+
+<ul>
+<li>
+Improved garbage collector.
+<li>
+Debugger.
+<li>
+Improved implementation documentation.
+</ul>
+
+<h4 id="Gc_roadmap">
+Gc compiler roadmap</h4>
+
+<ul>
+<li>
+Implement goto restrictions.
+<li>
+Improved optimization.
+<li>
+Use escape analysis to keep more data on stack.
+</ul>
+
+<h4 id="Gccgo_roadmap">
+Gccgo compiler roadmap</h4>
+
+<ul>
+<li>
+Implement goto restrictions.
+<li>
+Use goroutines rather than threads.
+<li>
+Separate gcc interface from frontend proper.
+<li>
+Use escape analysis to keep more data on stack.
+</ul>
+
+<h4 id="Tools_roadmap">
+Tools roadmap</h4>
+
+<ul>
+<li>
+Strengthen goinstall until it can displace make for most builds.
+</ul>
+
+<h4 id="Packages_roadmap">
+Packages roadmap</h4>
+
+<ul>
+<li>
+Faster, RE2-like regular expressions.
+<li>
+Comprehensive support for international text.
+<li>
+Support for international dates, times, etc.
+<li>

+</ul>
+
+
+<h3 id="done">Done</h3>
+
+<ul>
+<li>
+gc: Generate DWARF debug info.
+<li>
+gc: Provide gdb support for runtime facilities.
+<li>
+Safe compilation mode: generate code that is guaranteed not to obtain an invalid memory address other than via <code>import "unsafe"</code>.
+<li>
+Gccgo: garbage collection.
+<li>
+SWIG support.
+<li>		
+Simpler semicolon rules.
+<li>		
+A more general definition of <code>...</code> in parameter lists.
+<li>		
+Explicit conversions from <code>string</code>		
+to <code>[]byte</code> and <code>[]int</code>.		
+<li>
+A function that will be run by the garbage collector when an item is freed
+(runtime.SetFinalizer).
+<li>
+Public continuous build and benchmark infrastructure (gobuilder).
+<li>
+Package manager (goinstall).
+<li>
+A means of recovering from a panic (recover).
+<li>
+5g: Better floating point support.
+<li>
+Improved CGO including some mechanism for calling back from C to Go.
+<li>
+Faster, allocation-light reflection.
+<li>
+App Engine support.
+</ul>
