I'm confused, is this a curated set of existing Go libraries, or a brand-new set of libraries? If the former, how are they going to guarantee their "3 years of bug fixes"? If the latter, why should I trust them to produce higher-quality code than the community has already?

Toward the bottom of the page they talk about contributing back to open source projects and sponsoring the development of some packages, so it certainly appears to be a curated set of existing Go libraries. > If the former, how are they going to guarantee their "3 years of bug fixes"? Red Hat provides 10+ years on the code they ship. What's so shocking about 3?

- dchest 12y agoMost of their code is third-party code.
- nknighthb 12y agoAll Linux distributions consist primarily of third-party code. I don't know what you mean by "arbitrary", though. It makes no sense in context, and is notably at odds with your earlier use of the word "curated". Nobody ships random code. That wouldn't be curated, nor would it be useful.
