What did you do?

Looking for link to the Go Language Specification

What did you expect to see?

A link in the Docs menu to the Language Spec

What did you see instead?

The closest link is to the Go User Manual, a page with a lengthy list of fine documentation, but has the Language Spec listed far down.

Please add a link in the Docs menu directly to the Language Spec to improve workflow. Thank you.

The documentation page seems to suffer from a form of recency bias. Things like the langauge tutorial, the style guide, the language specification, etc, that are important but old get pushed farther and farther down as newer things are added.

One reading from that page would learn about fuzzing and workspaces before slices. Maybe I just don't get the taxonomy.

For reference this is what it looked like in 2020: https://web.archive.org/web/20200616161505/https://golang.org/doc/
