I'd consider stuff like that part of the opinion the language has. Go's opinion is that backwards compatibility at all reasonable cost is a priority. When it comes to ecosystems, the opinions have trade-offs. I would say that Go's approach to dependencies, modules and workspaces is one of those. As a language it mostly stays out of your way, but correcting imports because it pulled in the wrong version, or dealing with go.mod, go.work and replace directives in a monorepo, gets old pretty fast (to the extent it's easier to just have a monorepo-wide go.mod with literally every dependency in it). At least it's an improvement over having to use a fairly specific directory structure though. |
