I haven't tried Go in a while, but 8 years ago, I felt the tooling was a disaster. The V1 ways of doing things were really janky, and the improved versions didn't seem to be universally adopted yet. It's nice to hear that seems to have changed.
Yes, it used to be horrible with GOPATH hell, because Google didn’t care much about deps since they had their own monorepo. They got their shit together years ago. IMO today it’s better tooling than Rust (and Rust is pretty great already). Give it a try.
I love Crate, so if Go's tooling compares favorably to it, that's a good sign.
