:sigh: clearly you just don't like Go, which is fine. Of all the languages I've picked up Go was far and away the simplest and most productive, which is why I continue to use it. When I wrote python we were constantly using pip to pull from repos, so moving to Go I liked their repository centric view. Just because python recommends pip, doesn't mean junior devs don't totally botch dependency management with it. Dep management and git are core skills developers need to learn well to produce good software. There is simply no substitute for a bit of elbow grease on the matter. I'm not berating anyone, software is hard and being good at it means taking the time to learn some core tools.

Well at least you're not trying to defend the indefensible, even if you refuse to be honest about it. > When I wrote python we were constantly using pip to pull from repos, so moving to Go I liked their repository centric view. That is a rather peculiar situation, I believe in the 15 years I've been using Python I've had one dependency (and a rather outdated one at that) I had to pull from a repository. > Just because python recommends pip, doesn't mean junior devs don't totally botch dependency management with it. Dep management and git are core skills developers need to learn well to produce good software. I obviously agree with that complete platitude, the question is whether you think people learn better and are more likely to do so if you trick them and lay down traps for them. And whether you think your amusement is worth some out entirely. > software is hard and being good at it means taking the time to learn some core tools. And how is making those core tools harder to use and more likely to be misuse conducive to that?
