Finally, I can keep my Go projects wherever I want.

  Ech, I like to submit to GOPATH. One less thing to think about.

  I missed any reference to GOPATH. Does this release fixes Go's problem of forcing developers to specify source code directories through GOPATH?

    It is not covered here: - WebAssembly and Modules have already been covered. https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules

    That is correct. Now you can clone and build Go repos anywhere. Note that support is still experimental, so if you want stability, it is advised to remain inside GOPATH for another release. This is a good post - https://systemdump.io/posts/2018-07-22-go-modules https://systemdump.io/posts/2018-07-22-go-modules However, do please feel free to try it out and file bugs.

      The GOPATH nonsense was the reason why I've decided to take a hard pass on Golang, and instead pick up Rust. I'll stay away fron Golang until that braindead idea is officially dead and a thing of the past.
