• Title: Go versions in use for gopls views
• Description: measure go version usage distribution.
• Type: partition
• Issue: https://go.dev/issue/62248
• Program: golang.org/x/tools/gopls
• Version: v0.13.0

Why?

This answers what Go versions users use to build their projects, which naturally helps us
decide on gopls, vscode-go's Go version support window.
Note that this is independent of the go version used to build gopls.
For example, it is possible to build a gopls with go1.21.x and use it to work with a project
that targets go1.20.x

Does it carry sensitive user information?

No.
This reports only the minor version of the Go. It does not distinguish modified versions of Go.

How?

https://github.com/golang/tools/blob/master/gopls/internal/telemetry/telemetry.go#L74-L80

note: The default is 'local' which does not send any data to the telemetry server. Users must opt-in explicitly.
