I don't have much experience with go, but that's not at all my experience. I had the compiler panic on me for daring to run "go get", as described here: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/47979 https://github.com/golang/go/issues/47979
This issue has now been closed, but there are several others open with the same symptoms. The response by a golang maintainer was:

Anecdotally, i've tried to fork the imported module to remove some dependencies i was not using, and failed miserably, as explained here: https://github.com/ooni/probe-cli/pull/986#issuecomment-1327446013 https://github.com/ooni/probe-cli/pull/986#issuecomment-1327...
I have experience with C/Rust import systems and i can say with 100% confidence that golang's module system is far from amazing.
