Amazing that in 2018, a language team needs to be convinced that versioning packages is a good idea.
What's next, persuading them that generics are pretty cool too?
- ovao 9y agoConsidering there are existing and official dependency management tools for Go, the Go team doesn't need to be convinced that versioning is a good idea. This article is a discussion about mainlining a dependency management system as part of the existing `go` tool. They're similarly aware that generics are a desirable thing to have, but haven't determined the ideal way to implement generics into the language.
- dsymonds 9y agoDid you actually read the article? It is clear from the background and history sections that the need for versioning was apparent from early on.
