yeah they declined it, it's something you can dig out of the golangnuts mailing list from at least 5 years ago, they just don't see the point of adding this feature to the compiler because of the dramatic computation cost

haha yeah... i refused to use modules for a whole year, they were buggy af lol

now, idk how we'd survive without it but i'm not sure they did it quite perfect, i still keep a GOPATH as a convenient way to organise all my repos

but it works!

there's some glitches here and there with dependencies sometimes though... the btcd and lnd repos notably are a shitfight of dependencies literally back to different versions of the same fucking repo, it's madness

I too can't imagine working without modules.

but it was hard for us early adopters
