 This library is built in Go, and uses the [support policy](https://golang.org/doc/devel/release.html#policy) of Go as its support policy. The two latest major releases of Go are supported by terraform-exec.
 
-Currently, that means Go **1.24** or later must be used.

 ## Terraform compatibility
 
 We generally follow [Terraform's own compatibility promises](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/language/v1-compatibility-promises). i.e. **we recommend Terraform v1.x to be used alongside this library**.
