Seeing a lot of discourse here talking about how Go releases are so stable and don't break shit. As someone who also loves Go, I mostly agree with these takes, but let's not forget how much of a mess dependency management used to be in the bad old days. I remember Glide, Dep, Godep, etc. I think given the Go teams attitude towards not breaking backwards compatibility we will probably see less breaking upgrades like we see in frontend-land for example, but things were not always this nice and stable.
