Comment on Go vs. Rust: Writing a CLI Toolparent

Comments

Really unfortunate the author missed this because the go tooling is really excellent and in 2020 you don’t need to know anything about GOPATH.

To be fair, this was this was absolutely an issue until very recent if you look at how long Go has been around, and there's still a ton of now outdated information out-there. I like Go, but that was one of the things I struggled with from the start years ago, and the GOPATH/GOROOT always felt like a dirty unnecessary hack.
