It's not so much part of the language but it's an idiom that is said by one of its authors (https://youtube.com/watch?v=PAAkCSZUG1c&t=9m28s https://youtube.com/watch?v=PAAkCSZUG1c&t=9m28s). "Code reuse" always has some non-compressible context: another import with a line in go.mod, another repo and dependency, which doc is going to be on another page/site, etc... It makes sense for big dependencies but not for small ones; the threshold where "small" becomes "big" being of course subjective.
