You clearly haven't a single clue what you're talking about. I've never, ever, ever heard someone describe Go this way: >Go is very imperative and ugly looking, and not simple. Further, this is just stupid: >And this is why I avoid monopolistic platforms even though they are fast. If you don't want to use `go`, so be it. The manual compiler and linker tools are available that you can cobble together with make or ant or whatever masochistic tool you prefer. >This link is actually a self-answer by you. What are you whining about? What do you want? That's just a laundry list of known/seen Go packages. As everyone else has already told you, there's no need for a package.json and this literally isn't a problem for anyone actually writing Go code.
