I suspect you are just hating. The fact that you immediately glom onto the dependency management issue which EVERYONE KNOWS AND KEN AND ROB ARE REALLY SORRY YALL and also try to cut gofmt and govet off at the pass, which come on, let&#x27;s be real, the fact that something exists that might remotely resemble those concepts is an extremely fucking far cry from them being standard community practices which if you don&#x27;t see the value of that then you never dealt with other people&#x27;s C code... indicates that you know in your heart of hearts exactly how great Go&#x27;s tooling is. go run, go test, go build, boom! so simple. Oh and might I mention the race detector? Fucking incredible, C never dreamed of something like that.<p>There are plenty of good third-party options available for dependency management (nice double standard btw since you apparently have no problem with third-party stuff for fmt&#x2F;vet&#x2F;lint concerns) and there is also this <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;golang.org&#x2F;cmd&#x2F;go&#x2F;#hdr-Vendor_Directories" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;golang.org&#x2F;cmd&#x2F;go&#x2F;#hdr-Vendor_Directories</a> so a better world is coming don&#x27;t you fret.
