Highly suggest to read the demo at https://research.swtch.com/vgo-tour https://research.swtch.com/vgo-tour, which really clarifies everything. I do not write Go, but I did write some bits in it in the past, and now think that this will be a very useful addition to the Go toolchain. When I looked at Go for the first time I really disliked the simple but sort-of castrated go-build, and didn't really follow the developments since then, but this seems to solve quite a bit of problems. I especially like how you can shadow a certain dependency with a given package at a given path, and how it facilitates vendoring. Hope this becomes included in go soon.
