I too have noticed this tendency for the GoLang community to prefer for everyone to reimplement basic functionality from scratch rather than have it provided.

I believe there is no process or tool that could reliably do so (see sibling comment[0]). Indeed, at some point you need to trust an author that what they are publishing is what they say they are publishing, and authors being fallible means

I'm not saying that other package managers handle it better - if authors wilfully misrepresent the state of their software, it is indeed not the remit of the package manager to correct them. If you started down that road, you'd pr
