Agreed regarding deprecation schedule. It’s hard to break old habits. However I do totally understand why, as a person who has more than once become ridiculously confused because I accidentally ran go get in a directory that was a Go module. Somehow I even managed to make my home directory a Go module, leading to a lot more confusion. Needless to say, they do need to fix that somehow. They probably should’ve gone the other direction and made a new go get command that was specific to modules. It’s a bit too late to do that now. Go modules overall have been reasonably smooth but I’m a bit disappointed since this particular break will cause a lot of confusion. I think most likely in the long term it will pay off, but it’s probably unnecessarily abrupt. Maybe this is being done to lead into Go 2? Honestly, I do have another wish: I wish there was a version of “go run” that could fetch, compile and run directly from the Internet. Now I realize that’s not particularly safe, but it’s not much unsafer than doing it in two steps, and man would it be slick for small demos.
