    Golang puts shit specifically in $HOME/go. Not even .go. Just plain go.

    Why is it so difficult to follow industry standards

      Go pisses me off with that. I separate projects the way I want but go wants every project written in go in one big directory?

        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

      off the shelf go was too annoying for me

      Nowadays I set GOENV_ROOT to an XDG location and use goenv instead.
