      I really didn’t like this either. It’s quite surprising, because the rest of Go tooling is quite nice. Not having a venv, or at least something like pnpm-style node_modules is weird

        Why would go have a virtual environment or dep tree like node_modules equivalent, it’s not interpreted or dynamically linked.

        With modules, dependencies can be vendored.

          Obviously it’s not, but you have to download all this shit somewhere before compilation. That’s the whole point
