Filippo Sottile proposes high-level crypto/aead packages
🐿️ GoDaily - October 26, 2026
Filippo Sottile has filed a proposal for a new crypto/aead family of packages, arguing that cipher.AEAD is too low-level for what should be one of the simplest cryptographic tasks. Two smaller proposals round out the stdlib slate: exporting Error.Code from go/types, and adding RequestKeyChange to x/crypto/ssh so long-lived connections can actually follow RFC 4253's rekey guidance. Elsewhere, the latest Fallthrough episode has Fred Hebert and Reid Savage from Honeycomb discussing small teams and why code review is a bottleneck worth keeping.
