one of my pet hates as a #golang programmer is go projects that violate the entire point of the Go tooling by making some gay ass complicated shit about how to install some thing that is 100% go

lol, no, gfy

go install .

or

go install ./cmd/programname/.

i should not have to get root to fucking install an application ffs

export GOBIN=$HOME/.local/bin

export PATH=$GOBIN:$PATH

or GTFO

in my opinion, an entire operating system could be built on this one tool, if only the hipsters and the greybeards would see the sense of the middle way

I admit was really impressed when I discovered that I was compiling and installing binaries in userspace by default.

With makefiles you can just "make install", it could be problematic just with libraries that need to be eventually symlinked in root. Binaries can be installed to .local/bin in userspace and most of the time they just work, you need to see if the path is exposed as env variable and they will act as expected and even pop-up in the various DE- menus...
