Use when writing or reviewing Go code to ensure modern idioms are used instead of legacy patterns. Covers Go 1.18 through 1.26 features including slices, maps, cmp, errors.AsType, new(val), and wg.Go.
Review the examples and refactor your codebase to use modern Go idioms up to Go 1.26.

Modern Go refactoring converts legacy patterns like errors.As to errors.AsType and wg.Add+go to wg.Go. This updates codebases to use idioms available across Go versions 1.18 through 1.26.
The modern Go idiom for pointer initialization is using new(T{...}). This replaces older pointer allocation patterns to align with contemporary Go 1.18 through 1.26 coding standards.
errors.AsType improves Go error handling by replacing legacy errors.As patterns. It provides a modernized approach to type assertion within error chains for Go 1.18 through 1.26 codebases.
Yes, modern Go idioms are designed for large codebase migrations. You can refactor modules incrementally, adopting features like slices, maps, cmp, and wg.Go up to Go 1.26.
Yes, this refactoring approach works across module versions by aligning with the project's specific Go version. It targets features incrementally from Go 1.18 through 1.26.
You should migrate to wg.Go when adopting modern Go concurrency idioms. It replaces the legacy wg.Add+go pattern, streamlining goroutine management in Go 1.18 through 1.26 projects.
