> But Go has to be special and use a special directory or else it throws a hissy fit. I just set GOPATH=$HOME, and then all my source (Go & otherwise) is in ~/src, all my binaries (Go & otherwise) are in ~/bin, &c. It works really well for me. So some of the subdirectories of ~/src are a bit funkily-named: no big deal.
