What? There's no fundamental problem with it. It will continue. What do you mean?
- jcranendonk 8y agoI like go as a language, but its lack of package management is the single reason I no longer use it.
- sagichmal 8y agoGo has had primitive package management for 5+ years, and official package management (in some form or another) for a year.
- allover 8y agoThe go team recognise there's a fundamental problem with it, otherwise they wouldn't have created dep and vgo [1] [1] https://github.com/golang/go/issues/24301 https://github.com/golang/go/issues/24301
- sagichmal 8y ago`dep` and `vgo` both continue to use URLs as import paths. They optionally provide other means of fetching code.
