Are we all going to pretend like we forgot Java has been using URIs for imports for 20+ years?

  The difference is that java’s “uris for import” is nothing more than a namespacing convention to avoid conflicts. A url in go is the actual place where `go get` will go retrieve the dependency, and the directory it’ll live at.

    That's true, thinking from that angle it does seem more troublesome then, in cases where the URI goes down, or changes, or you need a personal fork.
