The current latest Go release is Go 1.14.6.

Clicking the About button at https://play.golang.org now says:

The playground uses the latest stable release of Go.
The current version is go1.14.5.

However, running the https://play.golang.org/p/Ztyu2FJaajl program suggests the actual playground program execution uses Go 1.14.6. So it's only the frontend that's on the previous version.

So it's not a big deal, but need to understand why this happens and fix it.

By now (after some number of days have passed), it says "The current version is go1.14.6." on the About page.

As another data point, https://play.golang.org/p/Ztyu2FJaajl says "go1.15" now (which was just released) but the About page still says "The current version is go1.14.7."

The playground builds the sandbox environment at the latest version of Go, but builds the front-end code at the bootstrap version. This is mostly because the Go artifacts aren't available

We should also run the front-end at the latest version of Go.

Fixing it this way is blocked by #44389.
