The Go devs have been extremely clear that Go modules is THE solution to Go packages.
- geezerjay 8y agoIf they do mean what they say then they will release a version of Go where the GOPAH nonsense is over and a fix for that design problem is not euphemistically described as experimental. Until then, no LTS means not ready for production.
- AsyncAwait 8y agoGOPATH is still being used internally by Go modules, but it's set up automatically and you never have to even know it's there. It will probably remain an option to use it as a user for a while due to backward compatibility. I don't see how that prevents you from using Go modules. > a fix for that design problem is not euphemistically described as experimental The simple reason for it being "experimental" is because Go 1.11 is the first release to include it, not because of some inherent instability. Wait till February for Go 1.12 if you're so worried. > no LTS means not ready for production I don't know what you mean by LTS here, since every Go release as of 1.0 has been backwards compatible.
