Well, it's about as easy without neither Nix not Guix.

- School-Cotton 2y agoIt's really not. Yes it's possible to figure out how to build and install the Go compiler, but then you have to repeat that process every time you want to upgrade to a new version. With Guix (I assume Nix is similar) you just save the patch somewhere and then run `guix install --with-patches=go=/path/to/patch go` and everything just works (including reapplying the patch on upgrade).
