> The fact that a programming language calls home to by Google by default should make it a non-starter for most sane developers. How is it any different from Rubygems, NPM, PyPi, or any other package repository? In most you can bypass it by using git repos, but almost no one does that. And the GOPROXY does offer real benefits, such as preventing left-pad problems. As others have said, if you really think this is a huge problem for you then it's easy to disable, which is actually easier than what most other package managers offer, but I don't really see the harm in the first place.
