Golang: Dependency management done wrong
I have just begun my journey in the Go universe and so far I have found a few things that I don’t really like. I consider this natural because as I get familiar with a way of working I find it hard to accept other ways without questioning them very heavily first.
I’m not an expert in doing dependency management, but when a friend told me how Go decided to do it, it really hurt my soul. Before I begin telling you why it did and why I believe it is the wrong way to do dependency management let me add a disclaimer:
The Go team realized that the out of the box way of doing dependency management was not ideal so they came up with a solution. If you are going to start a project that has dependencies in other projects you should use Golang’s new proposal for package management.
