> What's wrong with containers, batteries and core? Well, between those three and the actual std lib, there are four standard libraries, which defeats the purpose of having a standard library. > Wow, once I've tried go the package management was utterly broken, even cabal hell looked better than this. What, no package versions? Downloading directly from git repo, are you kidding me? `go get` isn't a package manager. Go's solution to dependency management is vendoring, which has its own suite of problems, but my comment was about getting newbies off the ground, and for that `go get` is suitable.
