Go version
go version go1.25rc1 darwin/arm64
Output of go env
in your module/workspace:
GOEXPERIMENT=""
What did you do?
$ go1.25rc1 help environment | grep -A5 GOEXPERIMENT
GOEXPERIMENT
Comma-separated list of toolchain experiments to enable or disable.
The list of available experiments may change arbitrarily over time.
See GOROOT/src/internal/goexperiment/flags.go for currently valid values.
Warning: This variable is provided for the development and testing
of the Go toolchain itself. Use beyond that purpose is unsupported.
$ go1.25rc1 doc internal/goexperiment | grep -A2 "current toolchain"
For the set of experiments supported by the current toolchain, see "go doc
goexperiment.Flags".
$ go1.25rc1 doc goexperiment.Flags | head -n5
package goexperiment // import "internal/goexperiment"
type Flags struct {
FieldTrack bool
PreemptibleLoops bool
$ go1.25rc1 doc goexperiment | grep '^const ' | head
const AliasTypeParams = true
const AliasTypeParamsInt = 1

const ArenasInt = 0
const BoringCrypto = false

What did you see happen?
The "go help environment" points to an internal source file that is not easily accessible.
None of the document shown above show the lower case GOEXPERIMENT values.
What did you expect to see?
I would like to see a simple list of the allowed GOEXPERIMENT
values and their meaning, quickly linked from go help environment
.
