My advice would be that we skip 1.14. We also drop the support for 1.11 and 1.12 as being past their end-of-life. We do a release of openwhisk-runtime-go that supports go 1.13 and go 1.15. We could omit go 1.13, but I believe it is harmless to include it since the work is already done and the problems that Matt raised are specific to go 1.14. Some people might find it useful to have an openwhisk-runtime-go release that supported go 1.13. In core openwhisk's runtimes.json, I would suggest only adding go 1.15 (skip over go 1.13). Go 1.13 is about to go end-of-life, so let's not add a runtime that we'll just have to remove almost immediately. > Whar about the proxies for other languages?

As soon as we get an official release of openwhisk-runtime-go with go 1.15, we can update the proxies for the actionloop based runtime to use go 1.15 as the builder and the new openwhisk-runtime-go release as the source for the proxy. I can do the work for this; it's purely mechanical. --dave
