This is the problem with most of the Go community: Blind.

There are plenty of tools that works quite well: bundler, cargo (even with some young rough edges) and at some degrees npm.

So there are tools and better ways to do it.

It is just that Sir. Pike doesn't like them and Google doesn't need them.

> In summary: stop complaining that go get doesn't do versioning. There are plenty of working versioning solutions to choose from, pick the one you like the best.

The reason why there are plenty of them is just one: none of them works well.

Exact opposite of what you said. You don't have such mess of pkg managers in others languages.



`go get` and `godep` have been excellent for us. It does everything we need it to and have had no issues.

It has had far less issues than bundler, npm, etc.


I really doubt that. I always had problem with godeps at the point that I hate it.

Right now for example I have a giant repo with tons of dependencies and:

   godep: unable to detect version control system for code.google.com/ path
Which dependency? Tried some and they work. -__-
