Go has the most lean and simple dependency management. It's far better than npm or pypi dumpster fire

  It's also worth mentioning the extensive standard library and golang.org/x/, which means that you generally don't even need that many 3rd party packages.

  Go is a dumpster fire as well as those. edit: lol at the downvotes. Go developers showing how insecure they are once again.

    Since you're apparently interested in downvotes (why?), I'm pretty sure it's not due to criticism of Go but rather the fact that your criticism is entirely non-specific and therefore doesn't add anything to the discussion...

      Because the comment I replied to was so specific? There's plenty of perfectly good libraries on npm and pypi, and there's awful ones. Likewise for go which pulls from "the internet". Must I really demonstrate that bad code exists in go? You want examples? There's plenty of bad libraries in go, and pinning to a commit is a terrible practice in any language. Encourages unstable APIs and unfixable bugs.

      It added just as much to the discussion as the comment it was in reply to, so downvoting one but not the other seems somewhat unfair.
